win2k and ATI all-in-wonder TV problem...I need to disable Terminal Services

[jamesey]

Basically this is the message from ATI get when I search my problem. I need to disable Terminal Services to use my TV Tuner. How do I do that?



(what ATI says)
If Windows 2000 Terminal Services are installed
Windows 2000 Terminal Services is a component of the server versions of Windows 2000. This component is generally installed by default when the OS is installed. NOTE: Terminal Services is not included by default with the workstation version of Windows 2000.

Terminal Services must be removed from the system in order to use the ATI TV Player.

By design, Microsoft Terminal Services disables all audio redirection when installed. Any services or devices that redirect audio will fail to load under these conditions.

The ATI WDM audio devices are used by the ATI TV Player to redirect audio. These required devices will fail to load if Terminal Services are installed.

To correct this error condition, uninstall Windows Terminal Services. Please refer to your Windows 2000 documentation for details on adding/removing services.

If you have any questions about the information above, contact ATI Technical Support and reference INFO-BASE file # 3728

I believe you go into Settings>Control Panel>Add/remove progs>

then you should have an "add remove windows components" button, which you should click

I'm not sure which set of componets TS is under after that...networking I believe. Uncheck TS if it is checked and that should be it.

I could be wrong....but i think thats how you remove that stuff

hope this helps

Are, you sure you even have Terminal Services installed? IIRC, it is not installed by default, so you would have had to install it. Try uninstalling MMC, and then reinstall it without the DVD player, then install the DVD player after by rerunning setup.

If you are using Windows 2000 Professional, then you don't have Terminal Services installed.

More likely, you need to download and install DirectX8 and the DirectX digital video supplement from Microsoft. The digital video supplement fixes 99% of problems with the TV display.
