Rage 3d Pro Pci On Windows XP

[djx]

Hi!

I used to run windows 95 adn have an ATI 3d Rage pro video card which is connected to teh ATI grpahics card by a ribbon cable.

I ahve upgraded to windows xo but dont know what drvers to yuse as i cant get any succes.

I want to be able to use the inputs on teh video card again like before whihc were : CAT in (like normal tv areil input) s-video input, composite, ther the main ones that i want to work

I presume ill need drivers adn teh program for this as i used to ahve a video player on a disc for windows 95 which you could select the input you needed adn it would show it but it wont install under win xp.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks,

Darren

I do not understand, do you have 2 ATI video cards? Are one of those card an old TV Wonder card? Why are you using a ribbon cable between 2 cards?

If you are using an internal ribbon cable between the video card and the TV card, then you must be using a VERY old TV Wonder card. It is a safe your TV Wonder card is too old for Windows XP to function with it. I'm sorry.

My advice is to purchase a new video card with VIVO or AIW functions already builtin:
ATI Radeon 9000Pro AIW for $133
ATI Radeon 9600XT AIW for $163
ATI Radeon 9800Pro AIW w/ remote for $332

If you prefer to keep your video card and simply having working TV tuner and video capture, then get a PCI TV Tuner:
Leadtek TV/FM Tuner w/ remote for $40
Hauppauge WinTV-Go for $49
