No, the videos play normally; I'm feeding audio output to my hi-fi system as a workround.

Yes; freeze-ups occur on both screens, alike.

Just the media players freeze.

Annoyingly, Dell don't distribute a later ATI driver and forbid ATI from independently distributing one. However there does seem to be one that someone has created to work around this:

Thanks. However, when I attempted to install the ATI update, I got alerts saying the Detection Manager and Package Manager couldn't be initialized... and I had to quit the process.
Any suggestions?
