Problem installing BTWINCAP drivers using Windows XP Pro

[edg]

I previously used the BTWINCAP driver with Windows ME, captured with VirtualDub, encoded/authored and burned with Tmpgenc programs, no problems.

I changed my system to Windows XP to eliminate the instability of Windows ME, but now have the problem that I cannot get the BTWINCAP driver to load. I have tried all different ways of getting it to complete running, but it seems to hang and reboots at the end of the installation.

I have no idea why. From the different posts it seems that it works great with XP on some machines but others have problems loading it also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at the end of my rope with it.

Not exactly a solution, neither a true advice, but....
If it is possible, switch to w2k

Tried installing it in Safe Mode?

I have switch to Xp Pro and having the same problem with Pinnacle VCD Studio capture(BT878) driver. Download the BTWincap driver and install without any problem. BTW, I turned of the anti-virus during installation. I use AVI_IO to capture.

Well, I tried installing with virus program off and same problem, it rebooted and didn't load.

I also tried installing in safe mode and it wouldn't restart properly from safe mode. It told me there was a problem and I would have to restore from last good startup.

I am installing BTWINCAP per the instructions (not deleting the existing drivers) and trying to load it over the original card driver. I have also tried to load BTWINCAP alone, without installing the WIN-TV-GO driver first, and that wouldn't work either.

Curse WindowsXP!

Hi edge,
Please check the Hauppauge website for the latest drivers. I notice that the drivers for 878 and 881 chips were update in early June 2004. Go there and grab if you do not have the latest driver.
