Voodoo3 3500 TV & Windows XP Pro

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to install my Voodoo3 3500 TV video card on Windows XP Professional (dutch version). I really really really want to be able to use the TV-in features of the card but don't seem to be able to. I've tried possibly all drivers I can think of and am still getting no good results...

I've been to www.voodoofiles.com and tried every XP driver for this card (following all the weird instructions, haha)
I've been to http://www.falconfly.de/voodoo3-3500.htm and tried the drivers + visualreality files also.

Whatever I do, the error I'm getting is very consistent:
'WebTV is not installed'.
This error is shown, both when installing VisualReality and also when starting VisualReality after install has been succesfull.

I know from my Windows 98 times, that I got the same error back then, and this problem was fixed after installing the international drivers. But unfortunately I haven't been able to find such drivers for Windows XP yet.

I have 2 questions:
- Does anyone have VisualReality running as a TV-tuner using XP?
- If so, what combination of software are you using? (Which exact version of XP do you use? What version of VR, 3dfx tools, and which driver for the voodoo3 3500TV?)

I've now been working on this for over 10 hours I guess, and am getting desperate. I've already emailed two users of www.voodoofiles.com who said they didn't have good results also (same error as I have). One of them was using a dual boot system (Win98+XP) now, just because it didn't work under XP, and the other used a separate TV card now... Not very uplifting ....

I would be VERY gratefull for any good hints!

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I've tried the drivers of Jonathan Seidner and they were actually the only ones were I could get 3dfx Tools up and running (including TV-out). So I know this works. But unfortunately when I start VR I keep getting those errors ... So actually everything works, 3d graphics, glide, DirectX, TV-out, but not the TV-in part ...  Sad

Actually, I'm going to try a US/UK version of Windows XP one of the coming days, to see if that helps as I'm currently using a dutch version of XP. If that won't help and there's no one else with a good suggestion I'm probably going to give up and buy some cheapo TV-IN card...

I run XP Pro with Amigamerlin 2.5 driver and Visual Reality 4 Beta.
It works fine, but dont know how a non-US sytem will go.
Anyway, in case you don't have Visual Reality Beta 4:

http://www5.filefront.com/iron-bin/ff/root.p_bin_/;page__download_file;cdkey__ux...;

The page kind of looks like a pop-up, but it isn't. Just click on "Download directly from our server".

That hyperlink dropped the last bit of the addy, so you will need to copy and paste it to get the right page.

Or you can find it here, but you may need to do a little "Where's Waldo" before you see it.
