there doesn't appear to be one.

XP Home should have basic support for it, but if there are maybe some other features of the card you are trying to enable, I think you're SOL.

Best you're gonna find are the Win9x drivers from the looks of things.

it actually works but when i hook it up to my tv it does nothing, if i drop the resolution it will show up sort of

a card that old would likely only work at 800x600 resolution, as any non-HD tv has a resolution lower than that even.

"The frame aspect ratio used by the NTSC standard format is 4:3. This format uses a 640 by 480 resolution."

tons of cheap cards that will do that for you.

Almost anything made in the last 3 or 4 years with an rca tv output will look decent

Try looking for drivers for Win2000. One of my laptops had a few driver problems after I upgraded. When I called the support line they told me to use the Win2000 driver for it and the problems were fixed!
