Is this an AGP 8X or 4X? Sometimes the correct setting needs to be selected in BIOS. Other than that I would try reinstalling AIW drivers again.

ya your right wahnula,for some strange reason,I had to uninstall and reinstall Catalyst 6.2 and Multimedia Center 9.06.01 older drivers in order for this to work on this All in wonder X800 XT AGP 8X video Card.Works fine with these Drivers,The latest Catalyst 8.3 and multimedia Center 9.16 Did not work,TV Locked up.Don't know if Newer Games are going to like 6.2 Catalyst Drivers,but will See how it goes,For now the TV Locking up thing is fixed.

I have had this problem myself...only with an older AIW. This is an issue with older AGP cards, for some reason (maybe PCIe) the newer drivers didn't work either. Thanks for the star!

I have a AIW 9600, and for a while I had no TV, just static, i reinstalled the drivers and everything. It finally came back once I formatted windows
