When I play EA Games Medal of Honor the game video "hangs" even though my pings in the game are very low (<50 most times). The game just stops action for me but I don't get disconnected. I suspect it's the video card. I could have messed up whn I went to ATI's web site to check for Video Driver updates (I won't do that again! I don't think there site is really customer friendly)

I ran ATI Multimedia Center Configuration test and it came back: "Capture Driver is not loaded nor enumerated by the de..." Message cuts off and you can't read the rest in the pop up box.

In Device Manager is see under Device Manager " Radeon 9550 but right under that I aslo see Radeon 9550 Secondary"

Have I mistakely double installed the Video Card? ;)

All help is appreciated! :tazz:

hard to tell...If you really only have one video card, you could delete both devices from device manager and then re-boot and let windows hardware wiz detect and re-install.

does your card have 2 video outputs? if so, that would be the secondary. nothing to worry about.
the ATI site is a little confusing sometimes...they dont readily point out that you have to clean the old drivers out before upgrading (you have to look for it to tell you that!) if you dont clean the old ones out first, it can cause errors like your getting.

to upgrade drivers, download and save the newest drivers and catalyst pack (i think the drivers are included in catalyst) appropriate for your board/OS. you then need to uninstall the current drivers. go to control panel, add remove programs. ther should be an entry called "ATI- software uninstall utility." click that one, it will automatically remove all the drivers, etc.
then reboot the machine. after startup, install the new drivers/catalyst, and see if you keep getting that error.
