Where are we at right now -- what are you now doing, where are you stuck (if at all).

Those ATI cards require several things to function:

• graphics drivers
• video capture drivers (Catalyst)
• misc ATI stuff (MDAO, WME, etc), later merged into Catalyst
• and finally, the capturing program itself, ATI Multimedia Center (aka "ATI MMC")

You're always welcome to try the "Swiss knife" of ATI drivers, version 6168. It's on the same downloads page at http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/show...onder-392.html --- but I don't know if it will work with that exact card, I've never tried.

Do you not have any kind of install CD from ATI (sorry if this has been asked/answered already -- just want to cover all my bases).

Didn't mean to let this stay idle for the past week -- just now noticed that you may have been waiting for more replies. Doh!

No Problem at all. I actually took a break due to frustration.

I don't have any discs for the card, nor the Vaio since they were all acquired when building a newer PC for someone. But it's not a big deal since drivers abound on the web.

The problem I kept running into when trying to use this card was that what every program I tried to use to capture would say "No capture device found".

I tried several different drivers packages from ATI starting with older versions and progressively moving to newer ones thinking it may be that. The last version I tried was :

10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc

I would then install the "mmc-8-7-0-0.exe" from this web site. Each time netted the same results. No capture device found.

The card says it's an "AIW 2006 AGP" w/256Mb of memory (PN 102A2250901).

I'm going to give it another shot this weekend. I'll do a fresh install (again) of XP (Win7 didn't like MMC) with a different video card (Nvidia 7600GT) and use the onboard sound. This should ensure that Device Manager is clear of any issues. It currently has two. One I assume is the capture device and the other I believe is due to the antiquated Hercules sound card. I have a Sound Blaster which I'll install once I get everything cleared up.

My hope is that once everything is greened up, I'll uninstall the Nvidia and install the AIW 2006. I'll try the 6168 drivers first and see how it goes.

I have a question:

Shouldn't the Capture device work if I simply install the driver packages (6168 or 10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc) only? Meaning I don't install MMC yet.

Thanks for all your advice!
