MVP 2004 crashes with my new Sapphire Radeon 9800xt

Ok... So, I have tried almost all of the ATI driver versions, all the brand new ones, INCLUDING the DNA drivers as well. Mvp crashes about 1-2 minutes into a game. It freezes my system! The ONLY drivers that allow me to play the game are the DNA 4.6 ones. None of my other games crash, including Doom 3, Painkiller, City of Heroes, etc.

The game runs very smoothe with them, so I shouldn't complain, but has anyone else ran into crashes with a 9800xt from Sapphire Tech?

I know its the card and/or drivers because my previous card (Nvidia Ti4600) ran the game perfectly.

One thing I've noticed about the new ATI cards is that they're really big on having the AGP Writes turned on as a default setting. Another thing I've learned with most of the EASPORTS offierings is that they don't seem to like this setting very much. What I would recommend is that you run the SMARTGART utility (START-->RUN-->'SMARTGART'+ENTER) and check the AGP Write setting to OFF. This should correct the issue. Also, make sure that the Dual Display setting is OFF. Those two things are the main culprits when MVP is crashing within a minute or two....
