I purchased the video wonder pci card in February, it worked fine until a month ago. Then I could no longer use the TV feature , all I would get was a black screen and sound and teletext. However i was still abl e to view the tv when i recorded and was able to take stills. As of ye sterday I cannot even get that. I recieve the message:"The TV Player f ailed to initialize the video Ensure the correct video drivers have be en installed..................................." I have installed the latest video drivers and the latest media center, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the hardware and software, still I get the same messag e.

Contact ATI: www.ati.com

I agree! Contact ATI! By the way, that was just a wee bit too much info.

I've always had to install the video drivers twice, one of them about a month later. Think it's something about having the windows system and backup files agreeing with each other about the installed components. Secondly, don't share interrupts with an all-in-wonder card! Older AIW cards don't like athlons systems. The cards don't work fully and it causes the machine to crash.
