Hopefully someone has ran into this and can tell me what I'm missing. I have a Maxron MaxTV KW-TV878-FNT video capture card that's been working great under Windows 98 Second Edition. With the addition of a new DVD burner, I opted to upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition (Upgrade) using NTFS to get around the 2 gig barrier.

When I try to install the drivers, the system crashes and then reboots. Then I find that I loose both rom drives, my sound card, and my ethernet card, forcing me to do a roll back to fix the errors. I just can't seem to reinstall this card. I researched every posting I could find to locate a more up to date driver. I've used the latest KWorld driver available and a few other ones that people suggested over that one. All of them cause the same failure. The last thing I have tried, was to upgrade my VGA drivers hoping this would solve the conflict but no luck.

System:

Elite Group K7SEM Motherboard with onboard SIS630/670 VGA chip
AMD Duron 950 Mhz processor
80gig Maxtor HD with 8MB buffer
512 memory
Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade installed using NTFS

This card worked perfectly under Win98. So far, the only program I've been able to access the card with is DScaler. This did let me know that the card is okay which is leading me to believe it is a driver problem. I did think about going into the registry to delete all occurances of Brooktree but I thought I'd better wait to see if it's something simple first before trying that.

Hopefully I posted all the info needed to get a reply. If I left something out, let me know and I'll fill in the blanks. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Denny :)
