I purchased and installed a AIW 9000 Pro card in my PC. I downloaded
and installed the software for my card from www.ati.com. I have MMC
8.8 and everything works great except that I do not have GEMSTAR+. I
cannot figure out how to download GEMSTAR+ from the ATI web site. The
CD that came with my AIW has MMC 8.1 - does that contain Gemstar+? If
so, can I just install Gemstar+ from the CD without wiping out my
newer version of MMC 8.8?

Gemstar is (can be) a separate install. So you might have to find and
uninstall/reinstall it.

This was from another post I made here:

"...However I have found that merely "upgrading" has failed -
I have upgraded twice so far. Each time something is wrong.

I installed from the CD then found they had the new 8.8 MMC out. So I
upgraded it. It did not install properly - in Hardware/Device Manager
I had "x" in the Audio portion. The TV would not start.

Last time was a few weeks ago with MMC 8.9. I went to upgrade "just"
the MMC and as soon as I went into the TV SETUP - changed a tab or
two, I got a GPF error. (ATI is the ONLY app that causes GPFs for me
now - I am running XP Pro SP1a). Oddly during the upgrade the "TV"
was the first on the Launchpad....

In both cases - I have complete uninstalled EVERY SINGLE ATI APP. And
then REINSTALLED everything. The only downside was the the Gemstar
"favorite stations" (not sure how to export it once you have it
setup). ... were lost.

Otherwise I have found once everything is put back, it all works.
Then once it does work.. DVD is back on top of the LaunchPad... odd.

Now my problem is - I have an 9600AIW - and the FM tuner is all of a
sudden crapping out after a minute-many minutes. Garbage sound. Stop
it start it - fine.

Take what you can from it.

Yes, Gemstar is found only on the CD and, yes you can install it by itself
without messing up any other part of MMC.

Our AiW Radeon 32MB TV Listing feature disappeared. We suppose Gemstar
controls the TV Listings. Can the TV Listings be restored on the AiW Radeon
32MB?

With the installation of the ATI Multimedia Center 8.9 and all of the latest
drivers, we noticed that all of the features that never worked before, work
now (TV-on-Demand, Channel Surfer, Recording, Still Capture, Closed
Captions), but the TV Listings feature is lost.

Well, I successfully installed just Gemstar+ from the CD that came
with the AIW 9000. It seems to work OK.
