Video In help

STaSh · Apr 29, 2001, 11:42 PM

When I try to launch video in I get an error message that says:

Unable to start TV The TV player failed to initialize the video. Ensure the correct video drivers have been installed and close any applications which may be playing video such as DVD or WebTV before attempting to restart TV

First of all, I have a 64 meg VIVO, with no TV, so why do I get a TV error message. Secondly, I dont even have the DVD player installed at the moment. I have the card hooked up to the video out on my VCR.

First, uninstall the current ATI drivers and MMC 7.1 and close Windows ME.

Now install the drivers from the Ati CD (only the drivers), restart
the system.

Install now the last drivers (I'm using the last beta drivers) over the current drivers and restart the system.

Install MMC 7.1 and DVD.

I had the same problem.

I did all that and still got the same message. I'm going to be doing a clean install (Win2k pro by the way) later on, so I'll try your method again.

Thanks for your help
