I'm having all sorts of problems with the TV card. It worked fine under
W95 but now...
Two sets of problems:

1. Installing the new driver wtcdrvr19c.exe causes blue meanies when I
try to use the modem. Remove the driver and the problem goes away. The
problem seems to occur the first time I try to use the modem, the second
time it is OK. I'm not even sure that the driver has been properly
installed. System/Device Manager still shows the drivers as BT848.VXD
and MMDEVLDR.VXD

2. Trying to get the TV (the 32bit) to run has been a nightmare.
Sometimes it refuses to run saying that the driver is already being used
when it isn't. Other times it says it hasn't found the hardware. Wierd.
Teletext does not seem to recognize the stations the TV is tuned to.
Logging off sometimes hangs with more blue meanies. A sack of woes...

Has anyone got the system working with no problems?
I miss my TV!!!
