I recently purchased an ATI All in Wonder 128 Video card and I downloaded the newest drivers from the website and the newest version of the Multimedia center and after attaching the AV In Composite and attaching some components to it I found out that it doesn't show anything on the TV when they are plugged in.

Firewire to Videocam problem

xagudo
Hi, I use a Dazzle Firewire card to capture and edit video. Everything works perfect until I try to dump the video back to the camera. The camera doesn´t receive any video, some frames show up, then freezes up, then blank frame, etc.

Programs close by themselves when using mouse with Laptop

videobruce
When I hook up a optical mouse to a Laptop (Comtrash Presario 730) after a varible amount of time when using Opera V6 the browser closes all of a sudden. This is closing NOT crashing. What seems to be happening is the mouse cursor jumps to the upper right corner and performs a left click function before I even know it.

Evans and Sutherland AccelGALAXY

Does anyone know how to get this card to work with games? Because in the compatibility list games like Diablo and Warcraft work on NT4 but on my system it doesn't. Are there any drivers or setups that can get this thing to work? The only game that I could run so far would be Quake III.
