I had the same problem with my ATI AIW 128 PCI when I tried to update from WinME to WinXP pro.

I just had too many problems with the upgrade so I uninstalled XP and went back to ME.


Are you able to try the card in another PCI slot?

I am watching TV right now on my ATI TV wonder PCI and I have XP home, so it is possible. First of all, do you have directx 8.1? Also, when you say that you aren't getting a signal, is there nothing on the screen, or is there something there? Also, did you install the WDM drivers that came with ATI MMC?

i'll try some of these things people. i heard that the ATI TV Wonder doesn't work with 3rd party programs. MasterC, where can i find MMC 7.5?

edit: i am fairly sure it is a compatiblity problem with MMC and the Geforce 2 Ti. I will try to find MMC 7.5. also, i heard something about a registry change for the TV wonder series, anyone else heard of it and maybe what it is/does.

i am on cable modem as well. any chance that you have AIM? there is a file transfer thing built in to that. email attachment won't work as i am on a hotmail account.

edit: BTW my AIM name is potatoguy1212 if you are on just give me a ring and send that file if you can. if you have another plan i would be happy to hear it as aim probably isn't the best option.

Did you install the ATI WDM drivers for the TV wonder BEFORE installing the MMC7.5
If you are using the latest version of the ATI Radeon display drivers (6043's) they don't include the WDM drivers... I think because they are Beta's...
I used the 6025's they include the WDM drivers.
Or you could d/l the TV Wonder 7.1 drivers (from the ATI web site) ... they include the WDM drivers for the TV wonder.

After d/ling the appropriate drivers, do a Clean Driver Install

If you are using the TV wonder 7.1 drivers check the Readme file, it explains the order of installing stuff...

"Plug 'n Play"... yeah , Right
