Nvidia video card with MyVivo - Why?

[max2]

Why everytime I install Nvidia video card drivers, after I am able to watch tv on my computer from my Leadtek Geforce 4 ti 4400 myvivo by installing the latest nvidia wdm drivers and santa cruz sound card drivers to hear the tv, that the video disappears on the tv viewing. I can still hear it.

I am using PowerVCR II to beable to watch tv on my tv from my Leadtek Geforce 4 ti 4400 myvivo.

The drivers I have installed before, for my video card, so that the tv video and sound works is the default Microsoft Geforce 4 ti 4400 driver but I want to beable to play games on this pc as well thats why I need to install the nvidia drivers for my video card somehow without it messing up the video when trying to watch tv.

I never use to have this problem before.

At least I don't think.

Why would this happen?

As a search might have told you, you can only display overlay video windows on the 'primary' Windows display (designated in Control Panels/Display/Settings). Either use a player/viewer that does not use overlay surfaces, or make the TV the 'primary' display, or mirror the display to the TV instead of operating it as an independent desktop.

Sorry but I am a little confused. Could you please explain a little more? Thanks.

Maybe I misunderstood; I thought you were trying to output your display to a TV. If you're just getting a black window when you are trying to watch the feed from the capture card, something is probably wrong with your drivers or codecs. It's hard to be more precise when your description of the problem is relatively vague.

Have you tried using a different application (maybe something very simple like AMCap) to watch the TV feed?

No but I will try that. Never heard of AMCap till now. Thanks.

I just tried the latest nvidia beta drivers 83.90 and I can still watch tv on my pc after they were installed!

Wooohoooo!

Finally!

These drivers rock!

Thank you so much 83.90 drivers!
