    Anyone with ATI All-in-Wonder?

    Anyone here have an ATI All-in-Wonder video card with the remote wonder? I've got the 9600XT AIW with remote wonder II and I'm having some difficulties.

    1st - I'm having problems getting the remote to work. When I first loaded the card and drivers I struggled to get the remote to work and after my recent format I've not been able to get the remote to function properly. Anyone have the current drivers (I've tried all the ones off ATI's site) or any help?

    2nd - I'm trying to utilize the video out feature of the card and use my TV as a second monitor. Does anyone know how to do this?

    THanks for any help!

    Just hook up your TV to the card (I can't remember if you need an adaptor or not, as I'm not currently near my computer with the ATi card). Once connected, go to Display Properties in Control Panel, then the Settings Tab. Select the second monitor and check Extend my Windows Desktop onto this monitor. Voila!

    I've tried to do that but with no luck...I'm not too sure why though. I get no response from the TV at all. :sad:

    Yeah a lower resolution might help. GOtta remember a TVs native resolution is 800x600 and can no higher than that.

    alright, I've got the tv showing as an extended desktop in the Catalyst contrrol center. Do you have to set the TV to a certain channel? How do you have the TV hooked up to the card?

    One step at a time I guess... :rolleyes:

    Not sure as to the rest of the steps. I usually hook my computer up to a video projector instead of a TV.

    You need to get an adaptor from ATi. Look on thier website or even on eBay.
