i've got a ATI TV-wonder installed on my computer.
I've recently changed my OS from win98se to winXP.
the problem is that TV image now appears as scrambled, diagonal lines, and the only ways to eliminate this fact are launching the TV program while pressing the CTRL button, or starting recording...

do you know if this driver problem is fixable?
may you try to fix it?

thanks

ATI has acknowledged that issue, and has told people that they are working on a fix.

Until then....Hold CTRL...

TV Wonder drivers always sucked and they prolly always will. ATI has redeemed its driver reputation and all, but not with these cards. When I buy a TV Tuner, I'll steer clear of these.

well, if i knew this before... but the problem is quite new, with win98SE i had no problems... and these drivers permit me to record directly on mpeg-2 (and i need it...)

i hope ATI will do something, but now they made MMC 7.6, for AIW, so i don't know if they want to spend money and time for working on old style TV tuner like the one i have...

thanks!
