Ive tried the disc that came with it, no joy, card works perfectly in my old PC. The software that came with it didn't work last time I had to re-install it on my PC, so I used WDM drivers instead, I found the old installer that worked last time and it says the chipset is BT8XX based.

Im running Win XP, 2.16ghz Dual Core with 2gb ram, Win XP SP3. My old rig was running XP with SP3 as well, Ive tried putting the card in a different PCI slot but it makes no difference, here's a screenshot from my device manager.

Please help, ive already tried installing/uninstalling in safe mode a bunch of times, no joy.

:confused:

I have the same card (maybe), I just let Windows find a driver through Windows Update and it works, despite the driver saying it's a "PCTV 100i Stereo NTSC".

However mine is definately not a BT8xx chipset - it's an SAA7134 (the chip is visible on the card). Maybe there was more than one "PCTV Stereo"?
