I hope this is the right forum to ask about this. The hard drive on my pc gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a larger hard drive. I installed XP and the other programs that came with the pc. It had PowerVCR, Power Director, and couple of other things. I also had Nero 6. I had to upgrade to SP2 for the hard drive to be recognized correctly. None of the video capture features in these programs will work. Get a msg that says something like "video capture device not detected". Well, it is built in, with video inputs on the front of the pc. Video card is a Ti4200 with 128 megs. Not the best, but it works for what I'm doing. I updated to the latest graphics drivers, but that didn't work. Found wmd drivers at nvidia's site and started to install them. Got a pop up that said something about using these drivers could cause harm, or cause the system to become unstable. Will the drivers really cause something bad to happen? If so, how do I get the video capture to work again? It worked before the original hdd went south.
if the warning you got said something like these drivers have not passed microsofts WHQL then go ahead and try them you can always roll back or uninstall if the warning was from nvidia then look further Ive just done a search on your graphics card and see no mention of it having cature abilitys check your device manager for any uknown devices you may have another card in there that does your capture
I just got it working, about an hour ago. I e-mailed the pc manufacturer, and they sent me the "secret" url for the drivers. Not really secret, but you had to provide the serial number of the pc in order to access the downloads. They are nvidia drivers, but they had a different name than the ones on their download site. I suppose it's some kind of proprietary stuff.
