Empty 'cable standard' dropdown list in MMC7.7 :(
I'm having a really weird problem with Multimedia Center 7.7 on my ATI
All-In-Wonder 128 Pro. I could quite happily use it a few weeks ago, but today I just switched from Composite to Tuner for the first time in quite a while to discover that no channels were tuned in any more and, worse still, there was no way to tune any in! The reason for this was that the dropdown list where you choose your cable standard - I think mine (UK) is PAL-I, US is NTSC, etc. - is completely empty! There isn't a single entry in it. And without choosing this it won't scan for channels. Now the situation is even worse, however. I tried a Repair on the application installer, without any success, so then I tried uninstalling the ATI MMC completely, including any custom settings I had, so I could be sure of starting afresh and getting it working, or so I thought. I re-installed it after a reboot, then rebooted again. When I ran it after that, up came the initialisation wizard, but still there was nothing in the cable standard dropdown. And TV won't run without first completing this wizard, so now I can't even use my composite input to watch TV from my digibox like I normally do! Has anyone else ever encountered this? Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could try to fix it? Thanks, Paul Speller UK |
