My ATI Radeon 32MB works great, I've been recommend these cards (ATI) since the All in Wonder Pro. Haven't had any problems with thier drivers like I have had with Nivida & VIA.

Been using ATI for over 4 years. Now own a Radeon 8500 retail and i'm struck by the beauty of the color, works on all my games and damn they made some nice screensavers for this card. As for drivers, stick with the "Official" drivers if you are having problems. Betas are just that, betas....for testing purposes. When a company makes a product, they do not manufacture them to be overclocked. With that in mind, if you can O/C the product, more power to you but if it screws things up, don't bitch

I take it you mean the All In Wonder Pro? If so, it's understandable the tv tuner doesn't work in XP. Going to ATI's website and selecting XP as the OS and the All In Wonder Pro card, it will tell you the drivers on their site are display drivers only. There are no tv tuner drivers for this card under XP.

Sounds like you need to either buy a stand-alone tv tuner card or upgrade to at least an All In Wonder Radeon.

I have the aiw radeon 32 ddr, and the new aiw 8500 64 ddr, both work flawlessly now. The 8500 out of box was great. the 32 meg card did take some driver updates for me getting it where it is today.

Soo... while i'm happy now. I'll never forget how mad at ati I was with my original 4 meg aiw. (with rage 2+ chip) this is when open gl was all the rage and they decided not to write open gl drivers for this chip. I was SOL for a card that ran everything else great. Soo... upgrade time again.

Really... to answer your question. I really think your asking too much for the 8 meg card tv tuner to be supported under win xp. If you can get it to work great, but from my history with them. It probably won't happen.

ATI could enforce 2D quality standards for all cards bearing their chipsets, not hard to do.

Can't expect every manufacturer to continue to support lagacy stuff with updated drivers forever. Time for you to upgrade.......

I've been trying to do this for over a month now. The card is no doubt to old to get drivers for it to work under xp. It worked so good under 98se. I'll accept defeat. How much is an readeon all in wonder any way.

You ought to be able to pick one up an AIW Radeon the boards for under $120 I would think....with all the manuals and cabling...
