Off-topic. Voodoo TV FM PC card

Hi, I know that this is a little off-topic for this web-site but maybe somebody can help me with this problem. I recently got a Voodoo TV FM card for my PC. It`s only now come to my knowledge that this company has gone bust. The problem with this is that to enable mp3 recording on the radio you have to register with their website...which isn`t in existance anymore. Does anybody know how I could get around this problem?
Thanks, Paul McCanny ccmp[at]ku.oc.evreseerf.ronampg

SCAN 2000 - Whites too bright...whites look "Smeared"

I had posted this in the GENERAL section over a week ago so I think its better i the Hardware section...
......Just got my Scan (my first DVD) over a week ago. All is fine except for the white in the picture can be to bright giving ghost pictures and overflowing into other images. White writing on a black background (as in credits) looks very smeared.Sometimes in very dark areas pixellation is very obvious. Is this common to all machines or just this brand? This machine is one that was delivered just a week and a half ago. Is there a cure for this or do I just have to get used to it. Any help appreciated.
.....Since this was originally posted I`ve tried it on another TV but the results are the same. The connection is phono (DVD) to Scart(TV) it wont work Scart to Scart on either TV (the result is abominable ..just some ghost apparitions on a black screen in RGB or Composite mode..but that`s another issue.)
Thanks, Paul.

RE: Just got Scan2000..big problems..new to DVD..help..

Problem now sorted out (I hope). Spent £10 on a phono to scart leat and now the thing seems to work fine. Thanks for all the replies.

RE: Just got Scan2000..big problems..new to DVD..help..

Unfortunately not. It`s now set to composite ( I think) I say this because of the distorted and scrolling image sent to the TV screen it`s almost impossible to read the display! I really am stumped - I have been trying for hours now. Have Scan a website or a support number?

RE: Just got Scan2000..big problems..new to DVD..help..

It`s set to PAL and RGB from what I can read of the scrolling negative display. The TV I`v e tried it on only have scart inputs and both have the same results. I`m starting to come to the conclusion as yourself..it`s buggered!

RE: Just got Scan2000..big problems..new to DVD..help..

Just the VCR, must try it with out it plugged in. I also tried it on another TV that had nothing else attached to it and had exactly the same problems.

Just got Scan2000..big problems..new to DVD..help..

Hello, Just got my first DVD , a Scan2000 and I`m having a few problems. I`ve connected my DVD to my TV via scart. Sound is working fine but the video output is completely kapputt. The images are ghostly "negative" images and they continually scrll horizontally across the screen, this includes all the menus, mp3 info etc. I`ve tested this on another TV and used a different scart but the results are exactly the same. Any help appreciated as the machine s utterly useless like this BTW have scan a website? Thanks in advance.. Paul.
