Re: All in Wonder tuner (was: TFT monitor as TV)

Hi There,

Yep, that is what happens, something in DirectX 9b kills it off as
well as other combinational issues. So then you get Video in, instead
of TV or Tuner, and can only select composite or SVideo.

There is a microsoft patch here that appeared to make no difference,
but I would advice this first.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/9/fc9b3b60-d7d4-42c6-ac64-
f28ea70fabb9/DirectX9b-KB825116-x86-ENU.exe

I thereafter went through several procedures, but I think these are
the main ones.

Download from here both the ATI full package of Display Driver,
Control Panel, WDM Capture driver which is 29.7 megs.

And also

Download the individual WDM Capture driver 4.56 megs from the low
speed section.

Then download the Multimedia center version 9 from here.

http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonopt-xp.html?
type=xp&prodType=mm&prod=aiwWINXPdriver&submit.x=9&submit.y=6

Uninstall any version of multimedia center you presently have.

Install the full graphic driver package.

Install the new multimedia center.

At this point you will probably still have the same problem.

Go to the Device Manger under the hardware tab of System properties.

In the section Sound, video and games I expect you will see about 6
WDM drivers, one or two of which will have exclamations against them.
This is the route of the problem.

Remove all the drivers in this section that have WDM in their title,
even if they are not marked with an exclamation mark.

Do not reboot at this point, you may of had to many times before.

Then install the seperate WDM driver package we downloaded earlier.

Reboot, and system should reregister all the WDM units, and none
should be marked exclamation, and now everything should work fine
again.

When yours works, what is the quality like?
