I remember when all that "begging" came out. I saw that happen with another "DJ" program once; and was really crossing my fingers and saying to myself "This won't be out by April 30th".

Although the program seems to be working fine for me now on the shuttle machine my wife uses, and am very happy about the new features.

Carl how much video memory is on that card and how much memory in your computer?
I know the requirements list says you need a minimum of 32MB, but I am finding that really isn't enough. My recommendation is at least 128MB so there is no possiblity of problems. I don't know if it will fix your problems, but it would still be worth it to upgrade.
As far as the drivers, I know MadJim had to go through several different ones for his Nvidia card before he found one that would work, so the latest version is not always the best choice.

I agree

according to the manufacture ATI it is a 128

I am out of ideas. Will 3.4 play the songs ok? If so use it while you reimport the bad ones. That's the best I can tell you.
