OT (sort of) - WINTV card & Windows 2000

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Is anyone here using any of the recent Win-TV PCI cards nder Windows 2000?

(Here's the ON-topic bit) - I'm trying to configure this in a HA server to
be a media feed for one zone of the house, to deliver both TV and FM radio.
- I have the Win-TV Primio FM card.

I can install the card and the drivers with no problems, device mangler
shows everything as perfect, and the FM radio application works perfectly
too.

However, neither of the TV viewing apps (wintv32 or wintv2000) will work
properly. Upon launch, I get various error messages, including:
- Connecting HCWsnapshot and overlay mixerL HR=0x80040207
- Failed to create TV window, another application may be using the driver

The error messages vary depending on whether I use the VFW drivers or the
WDM drivers (I've tried both). Also, in some instances, (rarely though)
once
the error messages are acknowledged, the application does actually launch
and display a TV window, - but with sound only, no picture.

I've trawled the hauppage website extensively, dowloaded all the latest
drivers, read the FAQ's and so on. - I'm beginning to wonder if it's my
ageing Matrox Millennuim card in this machine that might be the problem?

Does anyone have any info regarding getting the WinTV apps working under
W2K?

TIA

Paul G.
