does the pci card share an irq with any other device?
ATI cards with tuners (all in wonder, tv wonder etc..) will not load the driver if it shares an irq. It is a known issue and you can reference it at ati's faq.

try moving the card to a different pci slot, as mobo's typically hang the internal devices of the chipset (onboard sound, lan, usb, etc.....) off the pci slots irq assignments.

i am also stuck here as my mobo assigned the usb to my agp's irq and i have an all in wonder 9700 pro where the tv tuner and wdm capture driver refuse to load due to the irq share. my only option is to disable usb or leave the little yellow traingles w/ exclamation points sit in my device manager. kind of a pisser as the card came with the usb based receiver for the remote wonder. so i either give up my sweet mx500 mouse, remote wonder, joystick, gaming pad and 8 port midi adapter (not gonna happen) or.... live with a non-functioning video capture/tv tuner card that i shelled out an extra $100 for.

should just bill ati for the waste as they didn't have to seperate the tv tuner function from the vid card's irq in the first place as it's internal to the gpu in the 9500 and up series all in wonders.

I have tried going to BOTH ATI and Microsoft websites but the microsoft supplied version does not feature the tuner function and the ATI driver is the one I use when the program hangs. Does anyone have a way to fix this? Or is there a problem on the way I have my system setup?
