If windows doesn't have an issue with the card now, I'd not worry about
it. My Father-in-law has had trouble with his (older) All-In-Wonder
under 95/98/98se, but that's all been driver related.

FWIW, I'd get a good AGP Video card, and keep the Hauppage. Because : 
(1) that way, if it breaks, you only have to replace one card 
(2) if the Hauppage already works, it's more likely to keep working
(3) You can always upgrade to a better TV card later
(4) You won't have to find another Video+TV card at the next upgrade -
just the Video part.

After owning a all-one-card solution, I went to the two card method you
have now - because that way I only need to upgrade one next time *grin*
