running on the default OS. Solutions: Set the default OS properly or install

2. There may be other, independent problems preventing Windows from
starting normally. Solution: Remove the VideoMate Vista T220 PCI card and
troubleshoot PC start up. Remember to correctly reconnect the power switch
cables.

Video OK / No Audio
If you can view the TV picture but get no audio, you should check the following:
Please check that the WAVE sound is not muted or volume too low in the
Windows Volume Control dialog. (Double-click on the speaker icon in the
system tray.)
Also check the sound is not muted or volume too low in the Windows Volume
Control dialog. (Double-click on the speaker icon in the system tray.)
Sometimes updating the sound card driver from vendor or TV card’s driver and
application may help as well.
Why does the remote control fail?
The remote control sensor, which is plugged into the TV card, may be loose.
Please unplug it and plug it in again. You should also check the batteries of the
remote control. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
