Yes that's exactly what I mean. I took a look at the wiki that Mr
Buhrmaster recommended, which may take a couple of days to wrap my head
around, and I'm wondering if my Irish stubborn streak isn't a glitch causer
in the mix also. Along side of the PVR-150 is a K-World 150-U card that is
only functional within windows. Would physically removing it be a simpler
solution in that there would be only one NTSC card on the PCI bus which
would keep it consistently identified?
