ATI All-in-wonder 8meg AGP

[RG138]

I just bought a P2-350 computer w/64meg RAM and equipped with ATI All-in-wonder Pro 8meg AGP card and AWE64 sound card. The system is running in Win98 os. I connected my regular video camcorder to the card per the user guide and run the ATI video player. When I click on the capture icon, the whole computer freezed up and I have to reboot it(many tries). From the ATI website(http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/win98.html), I have downloaded the display driver 4.10.2440 and video player 5.2 for the Rage PRO. After installed the driver and player, same thing happened. I did checked out the "Devices" tab under multimedia properties in the control panel. It shows only the ATI Multimedia Video Driver and it has a defaulted check on the "use this video capture device" under the property. When I did the video capture diagnosis test under the display driver in the "Device Manager", my video from the camcorder works. The TV tuner is working fine except the capture function under the TV player. By the way, the card doesn't have the ENA/DIS jumper. Can any one help? Thank you very much in advance.

Dude, I feel for you. I wrestled with my AIW for 8 months before I finally said the hell with it and ditched it. This is not much of a help, but I thought it might make you feel alittle bit better knowing you're not alone.

I have the same card and haven't had any problems with the video functions. I'll fool around with mine some more and see if I can come up with some suggestions as to what might be causing your problems. I'll post back here in a few days....

I have the same card. Download the the w52312en driver from their site. Your card will work great then. It's also on the windrivers.com site

I have the same card...had some problems with
video capture until ATI advised me to reinstall
Video Player & accept the default directory. eg
do *not* chose "custom install" option. Wonder
why ATI even offers this option if it doesn't work
correctly? Anyhow first time I choose what
directory to put it in... this time I let it do it's thing.

This cleared up *all* of my problems...

I have been having big problems with my 3 yr old all in wonder. Capturing video thru Premiere 6.0 or thru the ATI display monitor both drop about a third of the frames. Anybody know why? I need to capture analog video and hope I don't have to buy a new capture card. Question Two. Can anyone tell me why I get black and white video and still captures when using an S-video hook up to the card but I get color when I use the composite connection?
Thanks in advance
