ati tv wonder ati mmc 7.1 - deos not work under xp

[nanjil]

I just upgraded to xp from me.

Just as expected the mmc 7.1 for ati tv wonder does not work.
The tv refuses to initialize.

But according to ati 7.1 shoudl work with xp

Any ideas?

did you do the drivers like they said, i use the tv wonder ve without problems.

but some suff to think about,

DOnt use any other program that does video (virtual dub, iuvcr etc.)
once i use anything else mmc wont initialize, if nothing else try and move the card to a different pci slot and reinstalling everything.

Id bet the drivers though

7.2 drivers are XP specific and are at http://support.ati.com

(No dvd player included though)

True, BUT:

Do NOT use it for:
ATI TV WONDER
TV WONDER VE
TV WONDER USB Edition
Older ATI-TV tuners that attach to the graphics board with a ribbon cable.

if you use the drivers for the tv wonder ve and tv wonder and the software from mmc 7.2 its fine

you can use either 7.2 or 7.5 with pretty much any ati capture card under xp, you have to change one setting in the install.ini file to make it work.

here is how to make it work and the thread where I found it:

Extract MMCDVD7 to directory, open up the Install.ini you should see this

Pay attention to the BOLD "DetectHW", set this to 0
