Two capture devices on the same PC. Having some issues

[redgoatee]

Ive got the ATI AIW video card in my PC, and I also have the Pinnacle Bungee DVD hooked up as well.

Since I've had both hooked up, the computer has been a little slower, and occasionally locks up. WinDVD won't work, the Pinnacle file player locks up, ect. . . I went and upped the memory from 256MB to 640MB, and that helped a little, but I believe that having both the ATI software and the Pinnacle software may be causing these conflicts with the system.

Any opinions?

Peace,
Allan

You could create a dual boot situationi if you're using a Multi-Boot friendly OS such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP, but if you're using an OS such as Win 98 or Me then you're out of luck.

Creating a dual boot would let you choose which OS would access what capture device.

For Example: [Windows ME & Windows XP dual boot setup]
-Windows ME would have the AIW software and you would use Windows ME with only ATI's software, don't install Pinnacle Bungee cap software
-Windows XP would have the ATI drivers installed but NOT the software, Pinnacle Bungee would be the only capture app used on this parition

IMHO
