<font color="#0000FF"><b>Issues with installing WinTV on DELL
systems?<br>
</font></b>We have found some Resource Allocation and Plug-n-Play issues
on certain Dell systems when installing the WinTV card. <br>
Some installation problems may include: failure to recognize the WinTV
card after initial installation, invalid resources assigned to WinTV (ie.
IRQ 0), and being unable to reassign resources to the WinTV card. <br>
For DELL 8100 systems experiencing these problems, please download this
file <font color="#0000FF"><b><u>HERE</font></b></u>. Save the
ICH2_Bridge_fix.reg file to your desktop. Double click on this file to
add the information to the registry, and reboot the system. This should
correct the problem for Dell 8100 systems.<br>
In most cases, a BIOS flash from Dell may correct these problems. We have
found this to be true on the following Dell systems: <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font>Optiplex
110 <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font>Optiplex
300 <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font>Dimension
4100 <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font>Dimension
8100 <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font>(and
a few other unconfirmed models at this time) <br>
BIOS downloads, information, and support would need to be provided by
<font color="#0000FF"><u>Dell</font></u>. <br>
<font color="#FF0000">NOTE:</font> In some cases the BIOS would need to
be upgraded, but in others, the BIOS would have to go back a version.
BIOS version A02 seems to work the best. We have found in some cases with
the 8100 series that reverting from A02 to A01 BIOS version is necessary,
and in other models with newer BIOS'(A05, etc.), that reverting to A02
BIOS may address the problem.<br>
