Do you have a TV Capture card that may have corrupted drivers? Or possibly the software is not initiating the card?
Double check your Video card in Device Manager.

I installed the all in wonder driver but it really didnt like it so I uninstalled everything and started again things are better now but still not quite right it now can not detect my tele sorry to be such a pain im useless at all this as you can tell lol

Pardon me for saying so, but if you've had a chat to some bloke at work, and acted on the advice of your mate, quite what you expect us to do is defeating me at present.

The last I heard was that the card was working but you were having "Out Of Range" errors from the monitor. THAT point was close to the finishing post. Did you adjust your 'screen refresh rate' or did you just ignore that advice and listen to your colleague and your 'mate who knows a little more than you' ?

If you are not going to follow our advice I really don't understand why you are still asking us for help. Seriously. I don't. :(

Any ideas on how I can get it to detect my tele what am i doing wrong??

by older mycroft

A maelstrom that's run for days and days.

The card isn't an All-in Wonder - it's just that Chas thought the drivers would suit the task. I thought it was a clever call.

But if the drivers aren't in the running now ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Why did you take the jump to uninstall something that might have worked. You're really tasking us now if we don't know what you've been doing.

What drivers are now installed?

SYMPTOMS
When you use ATI Multimedia Center to view television programming by using the ATI All in Wonder adapter, you may receive the following error message:
The TV Player failed to initialize the video.

Ensure that the correct video drivers have been installed and close any applications which may be playing video such as DVD or Web TV before attempting to restart the TV.
You may receive this error message even though no other programs are playing video when you attempt to start ATI TV Player.

CAUSE
This issue may occur in any of the following scenarios:
? Microsoft NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing is activated.
? NetMeeting or other video or conferencing software is running.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, quit NetMeeting if it is running, or turn off Remote Desktop Sharing. To turn off Remote Desktop Sharing, right-click the NetMeeting icon in the task bar, and then click Turn off Remote Desktop Sharing

I stand by returning any ATI product...
So much bloat, so much instability, so much irritation.
