Recently built MCE 2005 on an old(ish) machine:
Biostar iDeq 200N PC
Athlon XP 2600+
1GB DRAM
Radoen 9700 Pro 128MB AGP
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 900
Software installs fine and when I go through the MCE initial setup for my tuner I get all of the local digital Freeview channels. However, when I do the video test when setting up the TV I don't see any video. I've installed a Cyberlink MPEG2 Decoder which is supported. I get audio but not video.
MCE recognises the 9700 Pro card on the basic install but I updated the drivers to the latest 7.21 Catalyst drivers from the ATI website. Now, MCE says it doesn't support the drivers/card and won't even attempt to display any video.
According to the ATI website this card isn't supported but I've seen a number of posts on this forum where folks appear to be using this quite happily. So, I have two questions:
1) How do I get the 9700 Pro to work with MCE 2005? Which drivers should I be using?
2) AAs I mentioned, after the initial install, I had audio but no video when testing the video. Any ideas why this would be? Any troubleshooting tips?
Thanks in advance and apologies if the questions are a little noddy!
