After been too afraid of installing this card in Win2K Final server after complete failures in several W2K betas I got some excellent advices from Hauppage today: Dear Mr. Zoega, you should: · go to the Device Manager and uninstall (remove) "Multimediacontroller" and "Videocontroler for Multimedia" · run W2K302.EXE (http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/wintvnt/w2k302.exe) · the driver will be installed, and you will be asked to reboot · reboot to finish the driver installation · Install wintv2k22.exe (or wintv2k220beta.exe) (which is the TV application) (http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/wintv98/wintv2k220beta.exe) Right afterwards I got another _driver_ from Hauppage US than on website but I guess they are the same (same size and Key sys files are same version) so let's forget about that "special service". Here's my personal experience on this installation advices: 1. Removed the devices in Device manager | OK 2. Installed your attached driver and restarted | OK 3. Win 2000 recognizes that it has found your card | OK 4. Win 2000 now asks for the *.inf file | Not OK This inf-file is of course not found because I suppose this should have worked without any user interaction . I had to manually extract the files in w2k302.exe (the driver install package) to a temp dir with Winzip and tell the Win 2000 installer where to find the HCW848NT.INF. The installation then went OK with the ordinary warning dialogues. | OK 5. No restart because I'm not told to do that 6. Install Win 2000 application wintv2k220beta.exe | OK 7. No restart because I'm not told to do that 8. Try to start application | Not OK Error with program, cannot find GEAR32SD.DLL in path. The application quits. I found this file in the directory where I manually unpacked the driver before and copied it to the WinTV directory. | OK 8. Try to start TV application | OK I guess Hauppage have to improve the installation package a bit, otherwise the TV now works OK except some sound glitches which I since a long time always blames the Aureal Vortex 2 (Diamond MX300) card which has drivers that never seems to be able to work properly.

Hibernation is sth I have dreamt of for many years, do you think I have it in my brand new BP6 and W2K? Nah. Lucky you! That ir-remote is a great piece of art!!! ------------------ ------------------------- win2k build 2195 server Abit BP6 2x 575 cels bios revision 1.21 256 pc133 ram TNT2M64agp MX300.........pci WinTV-RADIO...pci
