Of course...you have to do it EVERY TIME. But it's an offical ATI work around. I have to do it for my new TV Wonder VE. However....to get around it all together...I do my TV stuff in Win2k.

I've seen that and done that work around..
what I use my TV Wonder for is taking Video Tape to my Harddrive...

NO workaround there...

well, i dont know about you, but i have a TV wonder in windows xp, no issues at all, i jsut used the newest drivers offa their site. The reson for this might be the fact that i have a radeon 7500. i know the card works in winxp, its jsut a matter of getting it correctly installed

I am beginning to think this is more of an ATI issue than WinXP...

If I had an ATI Video card I wouldn't have this problem

Yeah, it's definitely an ATI issue. As long as you're using an ATI video card you're OK, but if you're using a third party card (most notably nVidia) you stand a very good chance of seeing this problem. Of course if you contact ATI they'll blame it on your video card driver even though the most recent driver for the TV-Wonder was released in July 2001 which was four months before XP was even available. Makes perfect sense to me!
