ATI TV Wonder & nVidia TNT2 M64 problem fix?

[endeavour]

I have ATI TV Wonder PCI and nVidia TNT2 M64 card. When I open ATI MMC, I see just one image. Image is not moving?? What's wrong. Have anybody the same problems??

I had the same problem with my old PC - when I installed the TNT2 card, my TV tuner showed a static image. I took the card out and nearly chucked it, but then I found the answer on a newsgroup some months later. The work around is on the nVidia site somewhere - I suggest you do a search...

Basically, you need to go into Display-settings-advanced properties and on one of the nvidia-specific tabs is a setting for "overlay masking" or some such thing (it was a while ago - can't remember for sure!). Unchecking it should make the TV card work again. You may find that it also stops your DVD software from working - in which case, you'll need to switch between the settings depending on what you're doing. I used it as an excuse for buying a new PC

Anyway, search the nvidia site - it should still be there somewhere...

hey, I had the same problem. I finally solved the problem using my brother's older driver.
This should help

This is from the nVidia FAQ if you hadn't found it already...


When I try to run my TV tuner/video capture software in Windows 98/Me, it only displays the first frame. How can I fix this?



If your TV tuner/video capture software only displays the first frame of the video, this means that it uses video bus mastering. This can be enabled through the latest Detonator drivers. Begin by updating your display drivers to the latest Detonator drivers or the latest drivers available from your graphics card manufacturer. Once the latest drivers have been installed, go into your display properties by right clicking over your desktop with your mouse -> select Properties -> click on the Settings tab -> select the Advanced button. This will bring up the Advanced settings for your graphics card. Look for the tab labeled with the model of your graphics card a click on this tab. Then select Additional Properties. You will see a tab labeled "Overlay Controls". Select this tab. On the bottom, you will see an option labeled "Click here if you are having problems with your TV tuner" and then select "OK". If the option is grayed out, run your video capture/TV tuner software and then go back into the Overlay Controls. Restart your computer once you have made the changes. Once you restart, your TV tuner/video capture software should work correctly.
