I need help with a all in wonder radeon

[plotter02]

I am having problems getting the TV tuner to work properly in an all in wonder radeon(the original). I installed this card in a p3 800mhz with 320 megs of ram running windows 2000. When I started out with this card I did a fresh install of the os followed by a download of the latest drivers from ATI. Everthing worked fine except that the tv tuner would crash(by crash I mean that the machine would lock up with the tuner still playing. However nothing would work including the mouse and the only way to get out of this would be to push the reset button) after either being on for longer than a few minutes or by simply changing the channels on the tuner after a while. After playing with the settings to no avail, I decided to install the drivers that were in the disk. For some reason this seemed to work the best and the tv tuner did not crash. But when I installed the warcraft 3 beta, I found out that it needed the newer drivers to work properly. After installing the new drivers and playing several hours of warcraft(a kick-ass game), I found out that I was having the same problem again with the Tv tuner. I have called ATI on this matter and the only credible solution they had to offer(other than I play with the other drivers and multimedia centers on thier site) was that the problem was possibly in the irq settings and the ACPI settings. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution for it. I have heard a lot of bad things about ATI driver support both in magazines and forums like this, But I find it had to believe that ATI can continue selling video cards with problems like this. The tv tuner on this card is unusable. On the flip side I have also seen where a lot of people have bought all in wonder cards and have extremely happy with them as well. There must ba solution that I can't see. Help!!!! Does anyone out there also know whether or not if the card would work better under windows 98?

All I can say is to try different drivers.

Go to Rage3D for all ATI needs. Do a search on the forums, you might find your answer. I fixed mine with (Leak) driver 6018 on WinXP. They have many new drivers but I did not try.

i also had the same problem recently,i installed a new driver and my tv was not working

i just uninstalled the video card drivers and went back to a standard vga adapter(i had already downloaded the driver set

6.13.10.6043 to a folder easy to remember)then when i restarted i just ran the new driver and the 7.6 multimedia center

hope this helps
