Radeon 8500DV - Impossible to get TV Tuner working under Windows XP

[redfive19]

I am newbie to the ATI scene. Been a diehard nVidia fan till the 8500DV AIW came out. Just got it last week and I have not for the life of me, been able to get the TV Tuner to work under Windows XP.

I have installed and reinstalled every single driver I could and still no luck.

Basically the error I get is:

"Unable To Start TV

Check the Windows Device Manager to ensure the correct video driver has been installed and is working properly before attempting to restart TV"

My system specs:

Windows XP Corporate Select FINAL build 2600 (a legit copy of the software)
AMD Athlon 1.4 GHZ Thunderbird
768 MB Kingmax PC150
Abit KT7A-RAID rev. 1.1 w/ BIOS 64
Highpoint 370/372 Onboard RAID Controller BIOS 2.0.123
(2) 40 GB IBM 60GXP set in RAID 0
(1) 45 GB IBM 75GXP
(1) 40 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM
ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV

I've tried every single driver. I've heard of this problem being fixed under Windows 2000 through that DirectX digital video update, yet Windows XP comes with dx 8.1 hmmmmm If there is any help, I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks ahead of time.

Are your WDM drivers being installed? Look under "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" in device manager. Do you see entries for "ATI WDM Rage Theater Video" and so on (should be 6 "ATI" entries for AIW cards.?

Some of the beta drivers do not install the drivers for the tuner etc. I am using a 8500DV in XP, works great, install the drivers from the CD first. also make sure you completly removed any of your old vid card drivers
