Do not rely on the accuracy of the Ati configuration app, BD. Just be
thankful that it hasn't decided that your CPU doesn't have MMX enabled
or that your drives don't have DMA enabled. These are more things it
misreports.

I'm afraid I can't help you with your TV problems: the specs for your
system don't indicate that you have ny shortcomings. But don't worry
about what the Ati configuration app says.

ok, I am in the process of saving my stuff. I am going to nuke my
system this weekend, and start from scratch.

I'm going to make sure after i get winxp installed, i will install my
video drivers and tv wonder stuff. I am going no further with
anything until the tv card is working 100%.

I used to have it working years ago when i ran win98se with a gefroce2
gts card. i had to do the registry thing with putting a 1 or 0 ina
value, and it always worked awesome. XP has me chasing around to get
this going.

If I can;t get it going again, I will look into getting a hauppauge
wintv pvr 250 card.

One other thing that occurs to me, BD - you do have the appropriate
chipset drivers installed? You didn't say what mobo you have.
