HELP: No composite or S-Video input
Please help! My card is the 256MB ATi Radeon 9200 All-In-Wonder Graphics
with PCTV & TV Out. I've had this computer for a couple of days now and cannot get any kind of signal through the composite or S-Video input. All that shows on the desktop TV window is a black screen. I've had no problem recording a TV signal through the aerial into the card but I really want to be able to capture old VHS recordings. I've installed the new drivers and software which went up on the ATI site yesterday (7th March). No joy! a.. Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3000 Processor a..

Just ran the PC Check. Says that the capture driver is not listed in the
registry so I've downloaded that and installed it. No change. Please help!!! Thanks. "Pete Kendrick" peter.kendrick2@(take this bit out to post)btinternet.com wrote in message ... Please help!

If not why did you go with such and old card for your killer rig? Your system just screams for a 9800Pro. |

No, it is a 9200 and I agree with you, it is an old card. However, the
machine was an all in one, one off deal. All or nothing. So at the moment I'm stuck with it (not that that's a problem because in every other respect the machine is great). I'm still having the same problem, though. The ATI customer support hasn't told me anything I don't already know. So I'm hoping someone out there can still help me. Thanks.

If not why did you go with such and old card for your killer rig? Your system just screams for a 9800Pro. Pete, is the card an AIW or a VIVO? Since you would appear to be a UK resident, it's probably an OEM card; do you know what make it is? What do you have showing under Sound, video and game controllers in Device manager? If you have any problem devices or no Ati entries at all, it might be a good idea to uninstall your videocard drivers and software and clean your system, then reinstall. If you've been installing drivers on spec to try to fix the problem, this would also be a good idea. It's not that difficult; first uninstall all Ati software except the Display drivers and, if you have it showing, the ATI - Software Uninstall Utility. Then open Device Manager and Remove all entries under Sound, video and game controllers that relate to ATI, including Specialized MVD WDM VBI Codec, and any problem devices. Then uninstall the Display drivers and follow the promp to reboot. When you reboot you should have one of the Windows Standard drivers running; looks yuk but never mind. Open Add/remove Programs again, run (i.e. select it and click Add/Remove) the ATI - Software Uninstall Utility and follow the prompt to reboot. If you don't have the ATI - Software Uninstall Utility showing in Add/Remove Programs, download and run cat-uninstall.exe from the Ati Maintenance Utilities page (http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/m...lystutils.html) - it's the same thing. That will clean most stuff off your system; what's left shouldn't affect a new install. Reinstall DX 9.x, then reinstall (or upgrade) your Display drivers (not forgetting the Capture driver if you install separate components), then reinstall MMC etc. - again, not forgetting to reinstall the relevant Windows Media components first.If you don't have them, you can dl all this from http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html or from links from there. Bear in mind that if you're running an AIW card and W2K/XP in the UK, you'll need to download and install the M$ PAL tuner fix after installing DX9.0b, which breaks PAL and SECAM tuners. You can get the fix from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en. Incidentally, ignore what the ATI configuration app says. It's notorious for giving misleading information - the current one is to tell users with AMD XP CPUs etc that they don't have MMX enabled. Go figure! ;-) HTH patrickp - take five to email me |
