OK, the Rage 3D pro is not a capture card at all.

Do you have anything in 'unknown' devices or something?

Does the thing even have inputs :p. Is it a "All In Wonder" type dealy thingy. I mean if it's a All in Wonder, then I would look for All In Wonder drivers off of their site.

But heck, it may not even be a ATI card. You may just be looking under Graphic Adapters or something.

So umm, just Rage3D Pro is NOT a capture card. Look elsewhere in the device manager. Like Other Hardware/Unknown Devices.

Get DirectX 9:

Then get / install these :

Also you may try grabbing the ATI Multimedia Center, but I think VirtualDub would also work.

Also make sure you have the hard drives setup in DMA mode, double click on them in the device manager, there should be a tab or something in their properties. If you don't then you'll be dropping like %90 of the frames :p

ok, for the milti media thing you gave me, it says in the read me that i must have windows XP and im on 99

also, when i try to launch the "LaunchPad" i get an error message "AtiSServ failed to provide required interfaces!" and in the same folder as the LaunchPad program is another thing *im assuming* thats used to set up the TV out display, and it says "FATAL Reeoe: AtiSServ Regestry Access Failed To StartUo!"

....im totaly clueless here....

Some possible solutions there --------^

You may also try VirtualDub, File|Capture video, see if you get anything or see if it errors out.

ATI has kinda shoddy drivers
