Installing My New Gfx Card, Help

[bronco]

Ok guys n gals heres the deal

Following on from my other thread "Best Tv-out Card To Purchase?" i have just
bought and today recieved a Radeon all-in-wonder ve(PCI)

Now, being a bit stupid n all im not too sure if i have the correct cables to hookit up to my Tv etc

Heres a very non tech description of what i gotin the box:

1x 'purple' Ati cable

1x 'other'> it has 1 yellow female connector, 1 headphone type connector, all others are female connectors!

Sorry for the cr@p descriptons.

Now i want to hook it up to my Tv which doesnt have a s-vhs socket.
It has 1 scart socket, and 3 front input sockets (yellow/white/headphone)

So what cable/s do i need to sort this out ( a S-video to SCART adaptor perhaps?)

Oh btw ive not even started to physically install it yet

yellow- s-out to yellow on TV and headphone audio out to TV

Bump

Right guys whos in a helpful mood

Ive installed it to my pc now but and i rebooted etc, checked Device manager
to see if it was listed, and it was BUT my onboard gfx card is still
listed aswell beneath it

So i think i have a small problem here.

What i would like to know is how do i get to use my new all-in-wonder card and NOT the crappy onboard card ( which i think its still using)

Pleaseeeeee help us get it working>

Go into your BIOS and search for an option to disable the onboard video.

To enter BIOS, reboot your PC and hit F1 (or Del or whatever) when it tells you "press <this key> to enter setup".

And plug in the monitor cable to the video card

Ok done all that ( and plugged my monitor cable in )

I disabled the onboard card rebooted and windows comes up and says found new hardware and INSTALLS it again&#33; WTF

Another thing, ive now managed to get my desktop (no icons tho) onto my tv but i dont have any other Radeon all in wonder features like capture/ tv on pc etc working.

It does say this in device manager tho:

ATI WDM Rage Theater Video(microsoft)---&#62;"This device cannot start (code10)"

Also the same for ATI WDM Rage Audio(microsoft)

Dont know if that helps at all&#33;

there&#39;s an additional set of drivers for capturing.

you should install all three of the drivers from this page--
http://ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonwdm-xp.html

as well as "DAO/MDAC Component Package" and "ATI Multimedia Center 8.5.0.0 bundle" from this page--
http://ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonopt-xp.html

the control panel driver is essential for fine-tuning the display on both your monitor and television (and setting the television as "secondary display" & enabling theater mode ((it&#39;ll be the "clone mode" button under the "overlays" tab)), which is the most convenient arrangement for viewing movie files on the tv). the multimedia center programs will be mostly crap and you&#39;ll prolly not want to use them, but you should install that anyway as i believe it installs some components necessary for capturing.

once that&#39;s all working, i&#39;d recommend getting hold of either a program called WinDVR or another called PowerVCR to view and capture television.
