Driver conflict problems

[kram 2.0]

Hello Folks.

I just installed my comptuer tv-tuner the ATI TV Wonder Pro - without remote. Getting straight to the point, the drivers conflicted with MS Windows XP booting up. As recommended by PR, I went ahead and allowed my system to give me a BSOD - and it did. The screen is attatched - showing a form of driver conflict.

These are the steps I took to installing my card. I physically opened my build and inserted the card into a PCI-slot (slot #2 from the AGP slot). I fixed it in place and closed everything up. Then, I booted - obviously, WinXP gave me the "New hardware found" message. I bypassed that and went straight to the driver CD given to me. It installed a few software, among them what seemed to be DirectX software. Then, after rebooting, the system acted up.

Safe Mode works fine - posting from safe mode, actually. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
kram

*Forgot to attatch image - sorry about the double post.

I'm going ahead and trying driver updates right now - went to ATI and see if that will do anything. I'll be back with results - comments/suggestions are still very appreciated.

EDIT2 - Updating drivers was not an option in safe mode - Installishield refused to run.

EDIT 3: This has been a one man thread so far with the problem resolved. I did not know what I did during Safe Mode that made the system boot correctly in normal mode - but I'm in the regular Windows Environment now. The problem is I'm exactly where I started - the TV does not work yet. I will post back with more results.

Sorry for the tripple post, as I am unable to now edit the previous two posts any further. I was pretty stressed out about this and so decided to shift the card down two slots - it worked for the sound card, why not for this? Moved it to PCI #4 under the Sound card which was on PCI#3 and though Windows still failed to recognize any drivers, it worked. Any ideas on how to let MS Windows see the drivers?

Thanks.

Try that TV card in another computer. If the same kind of problem comes up, the TV card is defective.

I'll give that a try - hope it will work in a HP system though. I presume that a TV card wouldn't take up that much power as to be able to operate under the current HP PSU. Thanks Cricket.

No experience with TV cards but I would take out the card, uninstall all the softwares, reboot, install the software FIRST and then install the card.
If your OS direct x is simiar or higher than the version on the installer, don't install over it.
