Vista and PowerColor Theater 550 PCIe

[imported_eppenoire]

I made the jump, last night, to Vista Business Edition x64. Not, suprisingly it involved a lot of reboots and cussing because, unlike XP, you really do need to reboot after installing each driver. Anyhow, managed to get everything tweaked and optomized, but my PowerColor Theater 550 PCIe card. Ironically, I bought the card because there were not many cards out there that supported XP64, now I cannot seem to find a driver that will work for this card. ATI/AMD had 64 bit drivers for the Theater 550 series, but when I install them, I cannot login to my system upon reboot. Yep, the it gets all the way to the login window, then locks...keyboard...mouse...nothing. If anyone else out their has had success with this TV Card, please let me know. My system is dual booted with XP64, so I can always go back there, but I was really starting to enjoy vista 🙂

I have that same card, and I haven't had a problem with their 32bit drivers. I'm pretty sure I had it working with a 64bit release candidate.

It appears to have been a problem with the Northbridge driver that ATI tries to install...disabling it fixed the problem.
