I had big problems installing the ATI all in wonder 8500 WDM drivers on my windows ME system. All solutions in all forums didn't work. Then after 3 weeks I found the following in the ATI support faq. On win ME systems with more than 512 mb installed, Vcache (yes offcourse, who would think of that) uses all memory allocations (or something) and leaves non for the AGP. I went to the system ini and manually put in the

MinFileCache=32768
and
MaxFileCache=262144

values (as long as it is less than 524288 it's oke I think)
rebooted and windows recognized all my drivers immediatly
and installed them flawlesly
It said to check that the AGP aperture in the bios was set to 64mb so I kept it on that value.

Hope this will solve problems for the many people that still weren't able to instaal the drivers after all the good advice over here.

(btw all spelling mistakes are on purpose)
