AIW 128Pro tuner problem

[Gus]

Hi all,

I have an AIW 128 pro, which was working fine until I used a program called
registry first aid.

I have reinstalled the graphics drivers and MMC 7.1, which I got from the
ATI website, however during the tv setup at the "tv channels installation
wizard" dialog the drop down menu for selecting cable/antenna region is
empty, also the autoscan button is greyed.

I am running XP home

I would be grateful if someone could help me out.

Cheers

Gus

Can't you do a "system restore" to a point in time prior to using the
"registry first aid"? That would be the easiest solution I think.

Sounds like the DirectX 9.0b problem, Gus: I notice you're posting through
btinternet, so I presume you're in the UK. DX 9.0b breaks PAL and SECAM
tuners in W2K and XP. M$ have held their hands up to this and have posted a
fix; but it's very hard to find and they've posted no warnings for people
downloading DX 9.0b.

Get the fix at

If it doesn't work (some people have reported it doesn't for them) try
