I am having trouble getting my ATI all in wonder 128 TV to work. I have yellow question marks on my video capture/TV tuner/tv cross bar and
mvd wdm vdi codec. In the device manager when checking properties and getting the above message i read to correc this update the driver. I did this on every question marked loacation and restarted my computer. No good.QUestion marks are still there and the ntkern.vxd message still displayed. I extracted the ntkern.vxd file from my cab file location and over wrote the existing one. Still no luck. I am at a loss. My machine specification : 500Mhz Intel Celeron / 128 MB RAM /27GHD/SB PCI512 /ATI ALL In Wonder 128 TV. Thanks in advance for any help.

Update! I reviewd the properties of the ntkern.vxd file and was at 109KB . The file listed in my CAB is 190KB. I extracted the CAB file to overwrite the 109KB file. I reviewd my bootlog file and the load looks llike this:

[0011DABD] Loading Vxd = C:\WINDOWS\system\VMM32\NTKERN.VXD
[0011DABE] Fú^_ÉÂC:\WINDOWS\system\VMM32\NTKERN.VXD

Thanks in advance for any help.

What OS are you running, there are different reasons for 95 and 98. It can be a problem of loading the file from a different version of the OS, and is often due to usb problems.

Some suggestions for the ntkern problem;

Run usbsupp.exe, it's on the win95 cd, but not win98

Run sfc to extract NTKERN.VXD from the Windows 98(SE) disc into c:\windows\system and c:\windows\system\vmm32, and reboot.

There is a whole bunch of different suggestions at

Hope some of this helps
