edited September 2003 in Science & Tech
A hotfix is available (2000/XP/Server 2003) which is said to cure certain issues with some non-NTSC TV Tuner cards and certain versions of their drivers.
DirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw.

    I have been getting random bluescreen erros with my TV card after installing DX9 so I just dissabled the TV card as I rarely used it, but I wonder if this is related?

    Off-Topic: Spinner, Your sig brings the new P4 Work machines down to about 1/2fps and make everything unusable when your sig is on screen, but no other machines and no other sigs, I think SM is cursed.
