What a pile of crap.

Good job I still have my Blackgold card.
It doesn't sound like a problem with the card itself. Sounds like an issue with the software installation, or perhaps a graphics card issue (e.g. it's trying to use Overlay on a system which doesn't have an overlay surface available, or trying to use VMR9 on an old pre-DX9 graphics card). In my opinion all manufacturer-supplied software is crap, irrespective of manufacturer. It seems that they put a lot of effort into the hardware and drivers, and then take their existing application and hack their new product into working with it.
