I've tried and tried to install the correct drivers/software for this
card (mainly to get the TV card working again) and have had no luck for
a week. Anybody have a good combination of catalyst and mmc that
works?

Also, how does the eazyshare tv work? It keeps asking me for a
server...

Thanks

Here's something I posted on this group last year:

..... here's how I installed what I think are the latest and greatest
drivers for my 8500DV.


From a fresh installation of WinXP with SP2:


1) mmc-9-1-0-0-dao-mdac.exe (no reboot)
2) Catalyst 5.6 (reboot)
3) Remote Wonder 2.3 drivers (reboot) Don't even think about more
recent drivers. BTW, the link to this driver file on the ATI website
seemed corrupted to me. Maybe the problem was Mozilla, but when I
clicked on the link, the url that appeared in the Mozilla address bar
ended just in some odd (Java?) code without naming the file I needed.
But the rest of the URL looked OK, so I removed the code from the end of
the URL and typed in the exact name of the Remote Wonder driver file
(remote-wonder-2-3-english.exe). And to my surprise and great relief,
the file downloaded from the ATI site.
4) Plug in the Remote Wonder USB receiver and watch the system tray icon
appear.
5) Run the atiCDwiz with a 9600XT drivers disk in CD drive for
authorization reference. (no reboot) This successfully installs the
latest DVD player software to run under the ATI Easylook Multimedia
Center. This won't install properly unless I've installed Catalyst 5.6
or maybe even 5.4. Or maybe it's the latest dao-mdac stuff that keeps
this from failing. I dunno, and I don't really care anymore. All I
know is that some of the earlier stuff makes the DVD player installation
fail part way through. The decoder gets installed but the player
doesn't. But with Catalyst 5.6 and dao-mdac 9.1 running the DVD player
installs without a problem.
6) MMC 9.02 (reboot)
7) Gemstar TV listings software. (no reboot)


There's more to it of course. You have to be careful not to install
anything past MMC 9.02. I believe you can find a link to MMC 9.02 in
the thread. Good luck.
