Picked up the card used and
had no trouble finding
drivers, but still looking
for some way to simply watch
TV -- DSCALER doesn't seem
to work even though all the
WDM drives are installed and
apparently functional.

Thanks in advance for any
and all help!

I have a dual boot W98/W2K computer. ~6months ago lost capture device for
AIW128PRO in both O/S. Thought it was a hardware problem. Recently
reformatted the HDD. After reinstalling both O/S the capture device shows in
W98 but not in W2K. Have a newer computer that I do video on so haven't
bothered to try to figure out what's up. if your seeing the capture driver
it should be ok.

An ATI disc with MMC7.2 or MMC 7.7, depending on which AIW128 you have,
would be ideal. It would also have the DVD decoder that never could be
downloaded. Not impossible you could find the older versions of MMC on the
web but a short Google search didn't find any.

Free programs GB-PVR and Media Portal would be good to look at for
supporting your card.

Thanks for the advice -- no
joy so far, but I will keep
on trying....

Finally found v7.2 -- and,
remarkably, it works. Your
help was vital -- thank you
very much! No DVD support
in the download I found,
but I'm sure I'll find a
way to get that done too.

Much appreciated, sir!

Great!
The ATI program that installs the decoder checks to see if you have the disc
for proof of ownership. Not really a problem Most other DVD player programs
are better.

7.2 is OK and way better than no program but 7.7 has actual TVoD. AFAIK it
doesn't work with the standard AIW128 but does with the PRO. Worth at least
some searching IMHO.

This comes up 2-3 times a year. If you got it online sharing the link may
help someone else.
