XP SP1 Killed my ATI TV

[hagbard]

Just installed the service pack, and now I can't bring up my TV on my AIW128. It goes as far as the ATI TV logo and freezes, and I can't even end the process.

Sounds like SP1 hosed driver files or files needed by driver. Remove all ATI stuff. Reinstall all ATI stuff.

I have the same problem, does reinstaling really do the trick?

Thanks

I think it killed my S-video out too! In the morning I will uninsall and get back here.

Same here.. uninsalling sp1 or rolling back drivers did not help

Reinstalling drivers doesn't help. Uninstalling SP1 does, however. I did find that I could make the TV application work if I disabled my secondary monitor. Now ATI wants me to rip out all of my cards, leave in the PCI video card (Xpert128), then add in the AGP card, then the other cards. Since I've already banished SP1, I don't want to go through all the hassle for what I already know is a software bug that won't be solved by anything I do. I think the real purpose of ATI's exercise is to get me to go away ;-)

They need new drivers for the AIW128 (extremely unlikely given they haven't updated these drivers in a year) or an update for SP1 that addresses that issue.

I simply reinstalled MMC with the repair option and all is fine now.
