Hi , i just installed an ati graphics card and everyting works find but the ati software won't install. Heres the problem i download the software from the site, medialplayer 7. somthing. When i am halfway installing it says there is already a copy and to delete it. I delete the exiting copy and when im installing it again, it puts it back on there and tells me i have to delete if first. Does anyone know why this happening. Or can you tell Me a program to use that is fairly nice to watch tv on, thats all i want it for

simon says go back up

Is it ATI graphic card or ATI Tv tuner card you installing?

You can play audio, video, and mixed-media files using Windows Media Player.
You can perform tasks such as viewing live news updates on the Internet, playing clips from a movie, or viewing a music video on a Web site.

To watch TV you need software that is compatible with your TV tuner card which is supplied with it normaly

Regards

yeah it is a tv tuner card andall i need it for is for watching tv, but the software won't install it says its alredy on there but it isn't i looked and search for all signs of it

What is the software's name, and what did you mean about installing MediaPlayer 7?

Regards

Perhaps it would help if you would tell us the name of the tv tuner card you just installed, is it the ATI TV Wonder VE for example?

the card is ati's all in wonder pro, and the software is from the internet site i have all the drivers installed just need the program to let me watch tv. MediaPLayer is the program i was trying to install. 7? was the version in not quite sure what it is i think its 7.02

You have to follow the instructions very carefully for these cards. I have the All in wonder radeon and it was a b!tch to install.

Check their website for instructions. If you have a fast connection, I recommend downloading all the newest software/drivers for it. Make sure you have the correct version of DirectX. Also, there are some extra files that are necessary for certain OS's.

I had that card for over a year until I got it to work. Your best bet would be to install the latest OS possible as it usually will have support for the newer cards. Thats how I got mine to work. I would still be screwing around trying to get it to work with Win 98 if XP didn't fully recognize the Radeon.

Oh, even if you got the capture to work, the files won't work with media player. ATI uses their own codecs which you will need for Win Media Player to play ATI-created files......more info is at their site. The codecs are there too.
