Hello all, when I try to use Windows DVD maker or Windows Movie Maker, I get
the following message: Video card does not meet minimum requirements. This is
simply not true, and if I had a Microsoft official in front of me, I would
like to grab him by the shirt and shake him or her (just kidding but I am
really frustrated) Here's the deal: I have an ATI Radeon 9250 series AGP
video card 128 MB that meets ALL Direct x 10 requirements, according to the
Direct X utility, but I know that the driver is not "Vista compatible"
according to the MS Hardware compatibility list. It works fine for all other
applications. I was able to install an alternative CD-DVD burner program and
was able to import digital video from my camera without a hitch. But hey I
have Windows Ultimate and I want to get what I paid for. Just to throw an
other interesting element in this question, I have two video cards in my pc,
because I sometimes use 2 monitors. In my Display Settings, the #1 card in
the list is only 64MB, while the #2 card is my 128 MB Radeon. Under the
Radeon Card, I have a checkmark next to "This is my main monitor". Is there
any hope or will I have to purchase another video card ? This one is less
than one year old. Thanks in advance for your support, Charles

Update your video drivers to Vista compatible from the manufacturers website,
if they are available.
Otherwise install new video cards(Vista Compatible)

All 91xx and 92xx Radeon cards only have DirectX8 support onboard so there
are no ATI Vista drivers for them.

Yes this is correct. Whoever told you that a Radeon 9250 was DirectX 10
compatible gave you false information. The 9250 is a DX8 card.

No one told me that the card met the direct x 10 requirement. When I ran the
Direct x utility, it responded by indicating that "There are no problems",
and that all video acceleration methods were enabled. I thought this meant it
was compatible. Thank you for your response. Charles.
