How do I turn off ATI warning on boot?

[majordude]

When I start up XP inside of VMware Fusion I get a warning from ATI... it comes up every time and it drives me nuts!!!

It doesn't come up when I boot into Boot Camp.

Is there a way to make it shut up?

I do not have an ATI card, but I know where things sit as far as start up in Windows.

Go to Start, Run, type "msconfig" (no quotations). click the Startup tab and uncheck anything for ATI. Nothing placed in there is vital for booting or driver use. Sounds like you installed ATI drivers rather than the VM Ware tools.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

That worked. Thanks!

And yes, I do have ATI drivers. I installed the ones that came with Boot Camp but they are unable to drive an external monitor or turn off the MBP one or something (I don't recall the exact reason now). The "real" drivers from ATI are compatible with Boot Camp and do what I need with my set up.

Glad it worked! You can also uncheck anything else you do not want to start up when you boot into Windows. jusched (java update client), ctfmon (extended speech services of sorts), anything that ends with "tray", is typically unnecessary and annoying on boot up. I like to keep a very strict clean running Windows install to run smooth and start applications as I need them, rather then clustering it all at once and making boot times longer.
