No, it will not install capture or Theater drivers, but only the GPU driver. It treats an All-In-Wonder like a regular Video Card minus all the multimedia options.

Thats not true - multimedia works fine on my machine, and has since RC1. Try running driver cleaner and reinstall the driver

It's true. I'm was running RC1, and it didn't. I moved to RTM, did a clean install, and it's the same. Microsoft says it's AMD's fault for not releasin full drivers for AIW.
Vista loads it's media center, but it does not see the AIW tuner because ATI/AMD has not released the drivers.
Vista will however see the lone tuers like the standalone $49.00 tuners

Then explain to me why and how ATI's multimedia center works on my machine with Vista?

Don't start me lying! This reviewer is seeing what I see.
As with previous ATI Catalyst beta releases, ATI Catalyst 7.1 only supports ATI Radeon 9500 series or higher graphics cards on the desktop and mobile-front. AMD ATI All-in-Wonder cards are only supported as a display device, VIVO features are unsupported on All-in-Wonder and VIVO capable cards at the time. ATI Theater 550 Pro based products are also supported, though the release notes make no mention of Theater 650-based products.
Why, and how would I start you lying? When I get home from work, I'll post a screen shot.
Because I'd have to lie to explain to you why your tuner is working and others aren't. Perhaps it's due to new AIW cards using the Theater 650 chip which is not yet supported in Vista.
Who knows, I don't even know whcih board you are using.
I had an experience with ATi's All-in-Wonder card, but not specifically relating to Vista. I had it installed in an older machine running WindowsXP, and it worked fine. Then I moved it to another machine, with newer components and running WinXP and the card wouldn't work properly. I could get some very basic functionality, but the software just wouldn't install properly. I was baffled, because both computers were running the same OS. Eventually I pawned the capture card.
Maybe my situation helps explain the disparity between Truisys' and Chicagosoftplan's experiences. I think the All-in-Wonder is flaky to the point of conflicting with other video card drivers (the capture card I had was capture-only. I have a separate video card). The problems Truisys is having may have nothing to do with Vista. Then again, if Truisys is using a digital capture, Vista might require extra fudging of the signal due to DRM protection.
A quick search in Google for "x1800 Vista" results in this page at the top of the list. Apparently, this person contacted AMD and found out that Vista doesn't yet support video-in. Maybe this is specific to this card, but from what I've read Vista is designed to put controls on content copying. Their DRM scheme might take a while for AMD to program around.

The problem is ATI/AMD have not released complete drivers for AIW. My AIW boards work fine under XP or 2000.
I have 2 systems running Win2000 with AIW, one running XP, and ran Vista RC1, RC2, and RTM on another. I just deleted Vista from this fourth machine due to it having zero value to me. Wish I could run OS-X!
Go to AMD/ATI website and they acknowledge that the problem is real. First they said they'd release operable drivers when Vista is released. Now they say they will release full Vista AIW drivers "in the future".

I have an X1900 AIW and can't for the life of me get any TV in function out of it since switching to vista recently. There is driver support, but from what I can tell it is as others have said where it only gives graphics card support and not the other tv tuner functions, etc. What is also frusterating is that I cant seem to get the Remote Wonder to work either, which was nice to have while watching movies and such.
By multimedia, do you mean that you watch mpg's or that your tv tuner is accessible? If you have the multimedia working on your computer, what programs did you install to have it? As far as I can tell, the suite of programs to use the tuner that are available for the AIW are not available for Vista.
All in Wonder Radeon Support
Currently, only the graphics portions for All in Wonder cards are supported in Windows Vista. This means that in Windows Vista, the TV tuner functionality of your All in Wonder card will not be available.
ALL-IN-WONDER BOARDS OPERATE WITH AMD'S WINDOWS VISTA-READY DISPLAY DRIVERS UNDER THE WINDOWS VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SOFTWARE APPLICATION WHICH PROVIDES TV/CAPTURE FUNCTIONALITY FOR ALL-IN WONDER BOARDS UNDER WINDOWS VISTA
TV Tuner Support
Please note that these TV Tuners support all versions of Windows VistaT.

For the full e-mail PM me and i will forward it to you (anyone).
So like AMD/ATi it's only certain solutions that are supported.
And really the nV theatre products suck hard! Why do people think the competition for AMD/ATi in video capture/tuning is nV? Seriously do some research before you throw more money away. At least AMD/ATi's products compete with the standalones, nV's don't come close, and they aren't about to improve in the near future, they're pretty much pulling out of the market like they did with sound.
Yeah right. I have two 250s and they work well.
I'll be buying Nvidia because now that AMD has brought ATI they'll end up screwing up the company even worst then they were.
AMD is a habitual loser and AT will be the same.
