I fired up an old P3/450 win98 machine with Pinnacle Studio 8.12 and ATI
AIW 9000 that appears twice in Device manager. Display adapter shows up
twice once as a secondary. I don't think this is normal but I am also unable
to get TV to activate when using S8 to try to capture. TV works fine
otherwise using MMC V.8.6. Should I remove this 'secondary' from device
manager and maybe expect S8 to work fine again?

TIA

John

It is normal to get the secondary device - do not remove it.

OK, thanks. I guess I will have to find another way to debug S8

The secondary is for your second monitor (note you have two outputs on the
card - one a DVI). Its more likely to be the software. Studio 8 is a POS.
There are patches for that software but I dont know how good they are. I
gave up and wont bother with Pinnacle again. They do have a forum - have
you asked in there? Shaun

Thanks for the reply Shaun. I have S8 installed on XP Pro system that works
fine. I did not see two instances of AIW 7500 card so I suspected problems.
I will visit Pinnacle site for help.
Thanks

Glad you got S8 working - I found it very buggy (on XP Pro too). Waiting
for the general consensus on S9 and might upgrade. S7 was fine. Hope you
sort it. Shaun
