no, it might not have been the problem, I just know it worked when i removed
it.
I do remember when installing ie4 it said it would have to change some of my
directdraw drivers. Or it I might have been running it in the wrong mode my
millinium has to be in 16bit mode to make it work properly. So long ago cant
remmeber ( I have to use IE3 for other reasons so havent retried it).

Also, does the "cheapo PAL version" really play back

Its a long time since i tried but i remember trying some ntsc demos in ntsc
mode and they worked fine( Ill try some more and let you know)

Quality is superb.(better than svhs/rgb). Commercial games look as if they are
running in a higher res. I suspect the cards software is improving the picture
before it is displayed (this rfers to 800x600, 16 bit mode). 

There is two problems. One is an annoying white line done the left side of the
picture when running in full screen mode(when running in window this is
absent.)

The other is the a black border around the screen(about an inch) when running
in full screen mode. the size of this seems  dependant on mode you are running
in(it is smaller in 640x480 cant test others as my  millinium only supports
640x80 and 800x600 in 16bit ) and i suspect how good your card is(i have a
millinium 2mb)
