ATI TV Tuner Card not recognized in XP

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


Hi, This is my first tuime posting here. I bought a new Dell Computer a
little over a year ago that came with an ATI e-home wonder TV Tuner. I
am running Windows XP Media Edition 2004 (SP2). I never tried to use
the tuner until now. When I went into Media center and clicked on TV it
says "files needed to display video are not installed or not working
correctly, please restart media center and or restart the computer". Of
course none of that worked. I tired upgrading to Media Center 2005 but
got the same error.

In control panel, under system, the tuner is not found and when i
installed the latest driver from ATI, (ATI e home wonder video coded
WDC) I get an error that it is not working correctly - code 10.

I tried removing the tuner and rebooting, then reinstalling it and
rebooting again and the 'found new hardward' balloon does not show up
and it is still not recognized in XP. It is plugged in correctly to the
PCI slot. When you run the Dell diagnostics on boot-up it finds the
tuner and says it is working correctly.

ATI's tech support told me to go to Dell because it is OEM and Dell
wants to charge me $129 to fix the problem because it is one month out
of warranty.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
