Setting the system BIOS to either S1 or S3 power saving state results in a Windows system error message when attempting to restart from hibernation mode

Installing the ATI software driver under Windows XP64 AMD results in the TV option tab not being displayed

Neither the Reduce DVI Frequency on High Resolution Displays option or the DVI Alternate Operating Mode option is currently available when connecting a flat panel capable of 1600×1200 display resolution

Clicking on the Change/Remove button found in the Add/Remove programs currently displays the bus type information as N/A

Currently, once the display driver has competed its’ installation, a reboot message appears even though the ATI control panel is still being installed [break]
