    Did you read the installation instructions from the ATI website? You must
    have DirectX 9.0b and Windows Media Encoder 9.0 installed *BEFORE* you
    install the MMC. The order to install the MMC components is to install
    DAO/MDAC first, then the DVD Player, then MultiMedia Center (9.1 is the
    current version). If you did not read and follow the instructions, then you
    would have the problem you are having now. I recommend you go to the ATI
    website, and read the Installation Instructions and Release Notes.
