2 Radeon AIW Issues in Search of Solutions

Thanks to poster "X" ,we're down to two problems. Problem one was solved by letting Windows manage my swap file. I had 256 MB RAM and a permanent swap file of 128 MB. "X" detailed that Ark requires 400 MB to run. Thanks, again, "X"...

1) SOLVED ATI Ark 1.1 won't run. Loads about 60% then pops back to Windows desktop with no error messages.

I've still got these two issues crying out for solutions or further questions...

2) Desktop Icons won't change from 256 colors to greater color depths.

3) Can't capture ANYTHING. Displays image on TV, but if I capture MPG, TV app locks after 30 secs. If I capture AVI, TV apps stops normally, but there is no capture file to be found.

I know someone out there has the solution and I'd appreciate any assistance. Currently I'm running:

3063 Drivers (dated 9-15)
Windows 98 (NOT SE or ME)
Pentium III 800EB
256MB RAM
Intel D815EAAL motherboard with imbedded 100MB LAN connection.
SB Live! PCI soundcard
Adaptec 3920 SCSI PCI card
Belkin 1394 / LiveWire PCI Card
USB hub with:
MultiTech modem, AIP
Tek HyperPen digital tablet
Olympus Smart Media reader
Roland UA-100 digital audio / MIDI controller (not active)

Any and all assistance greatly appreciated. I wanna see this puppy do EVERYTHING it's supposed to do...

Regards,

Use the 3063 drivers. Make sure all your ATI device drivers are dated 8-31-00<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

As I've edited my original message to reflect, I am using the 3063 drivers. If you look under Device Manager / Sound ,video and game controllers, do you actually have any items labelled "Capture" in any fashion? I do NOT on my system. Mine are as follows:

ATI WDM Rage Theatre Video
ATI WDM Rage Theatre Audio
ATI WDM Teletest Decoder
ATI WDM TV Audio Crossbar
ATI WDM TV Tuner
Closed Caption Decoder
NABTS/FEC VBI Codec
Specialized PCD WDM VBI Codec
WaveTop(TM) NABTS/CC VBI Codec

Thanks,

I don't have any kind of WDM capture showing after my install, have tried both drivers, an win98, PIII, ASUS CUSL2, SB Live. I experimented with WinTV, multiple install sequences, clean installs, registry cleanout and .inf file massacre, then wrote problem reports to no avail.

After a fairly pointed complaint to the ATI sales crew, I did speak to an ATI tech. His explaination was that Rad AIW capture is supported with directshow. ATI does not plan to be providing WDM capture for legacy Windows WDM applications such as video conferencing. I've been looking for capture apps that use directshow, such as the TeVeo as suggested. - no luck. Another post suggested trying DX-8, I'm still willing to try that.

Hi,
for your capture crash problem :
if you have 2 hdd or 2 partitions try to make your capture on drive different from the one where the windows swap file is...
