The video card driver is conflicting with the WinTV card driver. If I could fully uninstall the driver, take out the WinTV card, re-install the video card and driver, then re-install the WinTV card and driver, it might work. However, I'm afraid that uninstalling the driver won't work (an uninstall never really gets everything out of the registry) which is why I'm leaning towards the totally fresh install.
If I have to do a totally fresh install it might as well be XP (I'm running Win2K now) and a new hard drive means I wouldn't have to worry about losing anything on the old drive.
Besides, I could use the new disk space...

XP is a lot better at managing drivers than 2K. Might help more than anything to do that. NT4 was a serious PITA for driver conflicts... 2K was better, but still not great. But I have to admit... XP (Pro *only*) is a pretty solid product.

Yep...sounds like what I'd do...
I have XP...any time I go to install some new gadget, I put in a system restore point so that if I find it necessary to uninstall I can go all the way back, registry and all.
Right now the HD from my last computer is in a USB-connected enclosure, and I use it as a 40GB mass storage :)
