3500TV and windows xp pro
09.07.05 at 03:40:45

I recently changed from 98se to xp pro on a p3 600mhz 256mb ram machine and it runs perfectly fine, but I just can't get the TV/FM to work. I would really like both to work, but especially the radio. I'm using the drivers by some guy named Jonathan Seidner which I downloaded off of this site, and although the driver for the card works fine, the one for the TV/FM tuner will not install. whenever I go into the device manager and try to update driver and point to the correct directory, i click continue anyway at the windows logo screen, then it copies a bunch of files over and then says Cannot install this hardware, showing a picture of a speaker with the word MEDIA next to it. Below it just says Access is Denied.

Any ideas why this isn't working and how i can get it to work?

Thanks,
Mike

FalconFly:
The driver AmigaSport 2.0 3500TV xp is available for download here:

Amigasport 3.0 seems to have issues with the TV functions. PS47 recommends on the 3DFX Helppage using the AmigaSport 2.0 3500TV XP driver. He explained to me:

Thanks, I'll try the driver.

I've also got another problem I forgot to mention. Every so often (very often recently), the screen will just go blank and I'll have to reset the system. Anybody else ever have this problem with a 3500tv in xp pro? if so, how did you fix it?

And is it right for the heatsink to burn your finger if you touch it for more than about a second or so?

But if it becomes extremely hot, a good Fan should be attached to it (can normally be screwed on using the passive Cooler fins as a stabilizing mount)

Well, I've given up on xp and just went back to 98se. It was too big of a pain to make it worth it. It works great now. Now I just need to get ms office to stop crashing all the time...but thats a question for another forum. thanks everybody!
