Radeon ATI 9600 XP Software

[jtovb]

Hello

I just bought and installed a 9600 XP. I went to load the software and see a bunch of things I am not sure I want on the computer. I'm tired of these Companies changing stuff on my computer that I don't want changed.

I selected the custrom load process and saw some things like demo that I know I don't want but have questions on some other options:

Hydravision
DVD Decoder
Multimedia Center

Do I need them? Any required? I don't think I want the Multimedia Center. I am sure I can do those functions somewhere else. What is the DVD decoder and Hydravision?

Thanks

John

Uh... there isnt such a card. Do you mean the 9600XT or the 9600Pro?

You dont "need" any of them. In fact you dont need any of it. Of course 90% of people want it
