I have been having problems for ages with the V550 on my second machine.
When running any drivers newer than 1.91, video such as DVD or VCD will not
play if VSync is disabled. Sound will be produced, but it is like the video
window is not being updated.

If I move the video window, a still image of the current frame will be
displayed. If I keep moving it, you will see the video motion, but as soon
as you stop moving it - it just stops on the last moving frame-sound still
going though. I have tried all resolutions and bpp. My TNT2 (Creative) does
not have this problem.

Enabling VSync will instantly fix the problem.

I can always go back to 1.88/91, or just enable VSync, but would rather fix
this annoying glitch. It isn't life threatening, but I wondered if anyone
else has had this problem, or has any ideas. BIOS changes have been tried,
all drivers post 1.88 have been tried (that I know about). I am currently
using the 3.34 drivers. Config is

Celeron 366
128MB RAM
Abit BH6
6GB HDD
Diamond Viper 550
AWE64V PCI

Many thanks for you time

Frank
