ATI Radeon 8500DV problem

Posted: 11-19-2003, 07:31 PM
I have an ATI Radeon 8500DV All inWonder, using XP, and have just downloaded
the latest drivers from ATI today, including the WDW TV capture drivers, but
have not yet installed them. The reason for downloading is that I lost the
ATI DVD player facility a while ago after updating my Microsoft Media Player
to V9.0. Now I have re-installed the ATI driver set from the original CD,
again, and the DVD player has finally returned, but now I have lost the TV
tuner! Before I install the new ATI drivers, I understand the old ones have
to be de-installed first. So if anyone out there knows that if after
removing the old drivers, I can still view the output via the ATI card, or
will I have to connect the video cable to the on-board video card before
installing the new ATI drivers. If so, I'm not even sure if the on board
card has been disabled as I bought the PC with the ATI card already
installed. I've printed off all the installation guides for the new drivers
and the first thing mentioned is to de-install all current drivers. Can
someone assure me please that I will still be able to see a display before I
proceed.
Thanks,
Steve
