9800 pro aiw finally working -has ATI abandoned Gemstar?

[None40]

Well after 8 hours I finally got this video card to work. I finally found
the answers to the problems I was having. The 9800 pro is apparently
finicky about the order in which drivers and software are upgraded. It also
finicky about having the old drivers and software still on the system. But
all is good now. I noticed the newest version of MMC (9.06) no longer has
Gemstar as an application, has ATI abandoned Gemstar?

No, you have to re-install the guide + software after all the other ATI
software.
The software may still be on your system but it isn't installed on the
ATI quick
launch bar.

I have tried to load MMC 9.06 on my 9800 Pro AIW and the TV application
would crash. I thought I tried everything; what did you do to get it loaded
and working. Below is how ATI tech told me to install the drivers but it
didn't work; what did you do?

Hydravision are uninstalled. Do not reboot..

- Open the Windows device manager. Remove all ATI entries from the Device

Well what I did was the following( after uninstalling the ATI software and
drivers)
1) Catalyst 5.3 then reboot.
2) DAO/MDAC
3) new dvd decoder. (have original CD in the cd-rom drive)
4) new remote control driver then reboot.
5) MMC 9.06 then reboot.
