guys....help meeeee!!! Situation: Windows XP by default installs a driver set while installation, My Video Card is ATI All-in-Wonder Rage 128 PRO this card has tv tuner now, i went to ATI website and downloaded the latest drivers ver. 6.13.3279 and their MULTIMEDIA SOFT ver 7.2 no DVD now, i click on the TV player program and it says "failed to initialize video", what the heck did i do wrong? also, in ATI's website knowledge base i read somewhere that terminal services in XP need be disabled (to get those damned ? huh? what is that? I also notice that the Rage Theater drivers are not there in Device Manager. It worked when i had win2k basically I figure I have to get the TV tuner drivers working but it wouldnt detetc or something else is going on. for right now I am pointing fingers at Microsoft. and yelling and crying and tearing my hair somebodyyyyy helppppp meeeeeee

This may help. I am having the same problem after getting the latest ATI Multimedia Driver (7.2) thru the Microsoft Windows Update site. I had multimedia v7.1 and my TV worked fine. Just after "upgrading" to the v7.2 my TV also has the same problem. I am going to try this evening to install v7.1 which did work. I do not know if that is the answer or not. The display driver 6.13.3279 is the same as I had with multimedia 7.1.

I have xp pro with an ATI Rage Fury Pro and ATI TV Wonder VE. It is working perfectly. I'm using MMC 7.1. The other night I downloaded from the MS update site 4 new drivers. Then my tv malfunctioned. Bummer, it was working great. What I found out, after rolling back all the drivers to their previous versions was that the "conexant" driver was the culprit. If you too downloaded this driver I'd try rolling back to the previous version. As far as the other problems, my experience is that you must follow the MMC install directions EXACTLY. Be sure to uninstall old software first. Print out the directions for MMC and video card install and follow religously. You must also update all the drivers from your card in Device Manager. Took me several tries to get it right, but it was worth the agg. Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

I agree with donalddk. The MS update did not remove the previous MMC7.1 before 7.2 was installed. Last night, I installed MMC 7.2 after removing 7.1 and the TV tuner works. HOWEVER, I am now getting my first lockups and automatic REBOOTS when I have the TV active. Several times an error report has been generated to be sent to MS and it says the ATI Display Driver has a problem. Soooo, I am thinking about uninstalling the MMC 7.2 and reinstalling the MMC 7.1. I am finding that the old rule is still true, "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX (UPGRADE) IT."

I chose not to install the TWO ATi driver updates I was presented with at Windows Update on Monday - on Wednesday, when I re-did Windows Update to install those drivers - they weren't presented to me as available... I suspect they were withdrawn for some reason.

I'm using MMC 7.1 and you'd have to pay me a lot of dough to make me "upgrade" to 7.2. It was such a bear getting it all to work right that I'm not gonna touch it. It is working perfectly now and I'm scared to "upgrade".

Well, like most of you, I'm totally aggravated by trying to get ati wonder ve working on XP. I've followed the instructions at ATI and even wrote them asking why install mmc7.1 for the tv while insatlling mmc7.2 for my radeon. After following the instructions and rebooting my system won't start. All worked well in Win2K. Perhaps in a year's time someone will come up with a tv tuner card for XP.
