A/V on desktop
« on: July 17, 2005, 07:39:27 PM »
I have A/V Inputs on my desktop (Yellow, Red, White) and I am able to get audio, but I can get no video. (I see Windows ME on my monitor)  I have no original software that came with the computer.  I want to be able to hook a playstation up, to play using the monitor as the screen, however, i dont not know what kind of software, or what I need to do to get it to work.

Thanks in advance for any help... ;D

    Are you using a TV tuner card? Like these: http://www.bizrate.com/buy/products__cat_id--405,keyword--Tv%20Tuner%20Card.html

    Yes, I suppose I am...except...its an older computer.

    The graphics card is a..

    ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2x

    so, im looking for drivers that need to be updated...

    but ATI's driver system is so *censored* complicated.

    Kyle, you should really focus on one forum section. Link Gizmo the other section where you have posted the photos.

    You are asked to make three choices when downloading drivers. I do not see in how that is complicated..

    I downloaded all of the drivers...

    but the TV-in on the ATI multimedia center won't work.

    i ran diagnostics, and for TV Tuner or Video In and it failed.  SOmething about there not being a certain kind of chip (I have since forgotten.)  I looked it up, and they are no a part of conexant....

    so...i guess im out of luck.
