W2K and ATI MMC&DVD soft install problem

[Adam Szewczak]

Hey.

I have Ati AIW Rage 128GL 32 Mb.

I change system to Windows 2000 and now is the problem. Becouse oryginal Ati
software from CD doesend install (want to use W95/98 or did't fidn Ati
hardware. So I download soft from Ati web site and now there is another
problem, when I install MMC I can't search TV station (there isn't to select
TV region so next button is inactive). I can't install Ati DVD player
becouse there is an error (directx 8 not detected) when I have DX9
installed.

????

Sounds like you have a PAL tuner and have installed DX 9.0b, Adam. Nothing
to do with W2K. There's been quite a lot of discussion about it here and at
the Rage3D forum; M$ are supposed to be writing a fix for it, but aren't
displaying any great sense of urgency - in fact, even though they've owned
up to it, they're still not bothering to warn users wanting to download DX
9.0b about it.

I think if you look back through the threads here, you should find a link
for a fix, though.
