Boy I keep hearing bad thing over and over with regards to ATI boards.
There are no .dll's that would have been replaced by ther ATI setup file.
All of Pov's .dlls are local to it's own directory. Make sure that your
windows settings are correct i.e. color depth and screen resolution.
Other than that it may be a direct conflict with the ATI drivers and the
Pov software. If all else fails reinstall your previous drivers and forget
about the updated drivers. Was there a reason for installing them in the
first place other than they were recommended by the manufacturer ?
