Pinnacle DC30 windowsxp

A friends of mine just bough a Pinnacle DC 30 card and plugged it into his machine.

He is using Windowsxp.

He has installed Adobe Premier and driver for win2000, there is no driver for xp

In Device manager everything looks a ok.

When he trys to run miroVIDEO Capture he get "Cant run MiroVideo capture because of invalid or missing hardware "

Normally win2000 drivers work for windowsxp (atleast they do for me), is this the problem in this case ? Any other thoughts ?

Appreciate any response.

Thanks

 

Some 2K drivers work fine with XP. Some, not so fine. Others, not at all.

First thing I'd try is going to the desktop shortcut and setting it to 2K compatibility mode and see if that will get it working.

If not, check with the maker. They may have a fix or may tell him it just won't work.

 

It doesnt work in 2k compatibility mode

I will check with the Pinnacle.

Any other ideas ?

 

If they can't help you out, you are pretty much down to

1) change the OS
2) change the hardware
3) wait until the company catches up and writes new drivers (if they ever plan to)

 

Maybe it'll help

I have a DC10 myself, and I use Windows95, but I had the same message some time, so maybe it can be off some help dispite the difference in OS.

I uninstalled the software after moving the card to another PCI slot (interrupt problems) and then installed the software again. When I rebooted the system the card was discoverd and reinstalled by Windows, but the problem was that at the moment of installing the software, Windows was still thinking the card was in the old slot, so the software never looked at the new slot Windows so happily found after rebooting.

I again un-installed and after a new installation, at which the software did get the correct info from Windows, the card was correctly found and the message was gone (The card still doesn't work, but thats a completely different problem).
