I have the drivers installed, and it appears that Catalyst Media Center installs also..., but on reboot there is no sign of Catalyst Media Center, I really want to be able to use this card, but as of now the card is installed, but I can't watch tv on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Just in case the card does not come with Catalyst Media Center: If the card is specifically designed for Windows MCE and labeled on the box as such, you need Windows Media Center Edition to watch TV. If you do not have Windows MCE version, you can try Media Portal, it is free.

    You don't HAVE to have MCE, it comes with it's own software, My problem is I CAN'T get it to INSTALL. I've always had this problem with ATI. In my opinion their software sucks!

    Yeah, I can tell you are upset from the CAPITAL letters :)

    The start menu items of Catalyst Media Center could be hidden somewhere not so obvious under Start > All Programs. You could also check c:\program files to find if the software was installed or not.

    It's not very stable on my system.. I've used ATI's MMC on my pc before and I liked it (when it worked) I was just wanting to know if anyone else has had similar issues and how they overcame them. Thank you for the suggestions/help!

    Apparently, you are not alone in your frustration with installation of CMC. The most likely problem seems like missing .NET Framework 2.0. Do you have it installed on your computer? If not, you can try installing it first and retry installing CMC afterwards.

    Thank you. I'm looking into this. I searched and searched on google and never found anything more helpful than ATI's site... That's saying something... And I've always gotten help here before ;)
