Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>videocards>ati (more info?)

I encounter the following error when an ATI TV scheduled Personal Video
Recorder event attempts to launch:

Unable to start TV

The TV player failed to initialize the video

Ensure the correct video drivers have been installed
and close any applications which may be playing video
before attempting to restart TV

As best as I can tell this only occurs if the "On resume, display
Welcome screen" option is enabled within the Windows XP Display
Properties ( Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Screen Saver
 > "On resume, display Welcome screen" ). The problem occurs whether or
not a password is required.

I do not encounter any problems with ATI TV when watching live or "on
demand" television or recording manually. I also have no problems with
scheduled events as long as the "On resume, display Welcome screen" is
disabled.

Based on other similar posts, I hope my findings help others. But, I
would like for this feature to work with the "On resume, display
Welcome screen" enabled, since others may use my computer and I would
prefer they use their profiles. Any suggestions?

I am using a "home assembled" computer with an Abit AN7 mainboard; AMD
Athlon XP 2800+ processor; 512MB RAM; ATI All in Wonder 9600XT; dual
monitors; Windows XP Professional w/ SP2; & DirectX 9.0c.

Thanks,
