What operating system are you using? Here is a driver that says it works with most ATI cards and with most Operating Systems. Give it a try. If it doesn't work post the OS you are using.

Ok, let me answer all of these questions....

1. My computer does have on board video, but no s-video out so it does me no good, that is why i purchased a new card. I want to hook the card to a TV not a monitor, the TV is in my cab.

2. My new video card does support both s-video and RCA out. I would rather not buy ANOTHER video card unless this one wont work.

3. My computer is only 2 years old. It is a 2.88 GHZ with 700+ Ram.

4. I am running Windows XP. When I plug the card in it recongizes it and says found Video card (VGA) and then prepares to install but prompts me that there was a problem with the card and it may n ot function properly. It even recognizes the exact model of the card so I know it sees it. When I unplug my monitor from the default video card the screen pops up the power saver mode. When I plug the monitor into the new one the screen saver goes off like it is preparing to show a display but just stays black.

5. POLARIS - Here is the link to why it is a bad idea for the adaptor:

6. I will try that driver when I get home today. Would you think that is the problem in this instance?

Thank you everyone for trying to help!

I have to ask.
what service pack do you have? There is a reason I ask.

I remember the thread about your first card and blowing out a TV was at risk.

I was lucky and never had these problems. but with XP Pro no service pack
My card was limited on things that worked.

service pack 1
all works great. ( all 3 of my cards are ATI Radions) 2 agp slot
and 1 pci slot
64 meg cards
 service pack 2 and with updates check every time I log on the web.
I am now having a problem with ati shut down at restart or turn off PC

all my game systems I have switched back to sevice pack 1 and these PC are not hooked to the web.
Panzer:
I am at work now but I am almost certain it is service pack 2. So if I roll this back that may help?
daywane:
not sure if windows can be rolled back.
I have them all on disks.
I am one of those people who reinstall windowsobout every 6 to 8 months on my internet PC
