Release Notes

ATI recommends installing the DirectX 8 runtime. This has been found to resolve some intermittent system hang issues. See DirectX download note below.

If you receive the error message "More than one video decoder found...", the TV Wonder drivers may not be installed correctly. Please see Driver Installation in the Known Issues section of the Release Notes.
ATI's TV Wonder PCI cards interact closely with the installed display driver in order to display and size the video window. With the move to Windows 2000, many vendors, especially of older graphics cards have chosen not to release enhanced drivers for this new operating system and this causes problems with the full functionality of the TV Wonder. For more information please see the TV Wonder Compatibility Chart in the Release Notes.
