HELP!!! I recently built this system and cannot play any of my games nor watch TV using my ATI TV Wonder Elite PCI card:
<p>
Windows XP Pro SP2
AMD 64 Clawhammer 3200+
Abit UL8 socket 939 Motherboard
1Gb Dual Channel DDR400
Apollo FX5500 (nVidia) AGP videocard
1 20Gb PATA/IDE harddrvie (C:)
1 160Gb PATA/IDE harrdrive (D:)
DVD burner
CD-RW/DVD reader
</p>
I have updated the drivers, played with refresh rates and resolutions, and I still cannot get this card to work properly! I can't play Halo (for PC) nor can I play Microsoft Train Sim. Both games start up, go through intro video, then screen goes blank when game is at first menu (yet I can still hear audio). Similarly, I am unable to watch TV using my ATI TV Wonder Elite PCI card (with newest drivers). I can hear the TV, but the screen is either just blank black or white. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I tried three different drivers (two newer versions, and one moded) with no success... Any other suggestions? could my chipset (ULi M1689) be causing the problems? There is a driver for the chipset that mentions PCI/AGP after I install it, suggesting that I reinstall my videocard drivers; should I try uninstalling it? If I tried installing Win x64 and the corresponding 64-bit drivers, would that potentially fix the problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
