ATI & MMC 8.5 Cannot initialize TV

[SJ]

Select TV for the first time, you get the initialisation programme and
all is well until you hit the section where you have to select either
antenna or cable and I assume from the drop down box you have to
select a region or country - I say suspect, because mine doesn't have
anything in it, therefore the "next" box remains greyed out and you
can go no further.

9800 Radeon all in wonder pro, XP pro, 3.0Ghz Intel

Tried upgrading to MMC 9.0 initialization will run, but crashes the
machine with a serious error (the computers definition not mine)

I have tried th ATI site till I am fed up and it seems no help at
all.

All the best

If you have a PAL setup, older versions of DX9 can cause tuner problems. 9c
fixed this 9b not sure.

Have struggled with this lack of drop down list for ages, took the
time last night to upgrade windows XP with Service pack 2 and lo and
behold, problem with initialisation sorted.

Thanks for the help

9 was okay, 9b broke it, I *think* 9c fixed it, but I'm no longer on MMC8.5
so I'm not sure. At the time of 9b there were various fixes posted ot the
forums at www.rage3d.com
