Canopus DV Storm 2 Question

[Johnathan David]

Hi There,

I'm new here & my name is Johnathan.
Not sure where I should post this question & will appreciate all the help I can get.
I've been using the Canopus DV Storm 2 since the mid 90s.
It has worked extremely well all these years except that it gets tricky each time
I upgrade the system or do a fresh OS install.
It will take sometime to figure out how to get the system to recognise the hardware
& have the drivers properly loaded & accepted by the system but once that is achieved,
it will be plain sailing till the next system upgrade or OS install.
I've now upgraded my system & switched OS from XP Pro to Windows 7 64 bit.
I'm having trouble getting the drivers to be accepted by the system & am now unable to
use the DV Storm 2. I'm crossing my fingers that some of the good people here are DV Storm 2 users & may have
come across the same problems I'm having but have the knowledge to overcome this problem.
Will appreciate any help I can get coming my way.
The following are my computer details:-
OS Windows 7 64 bit
CPU Intel Core™ i7-870 2.93GHz
Motherboard - Socket 1156 Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3P
Graphics - Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI GTX460 1GB
Ram OCZ 2GB X 4
C Drive WD 500 GB Black edition partitioned with D
External WD 1 TB
Thank you all in advance.


Best regards,
Johnathan.

Check the Canopus support site (now Grass Valley) to see if they have drivers for Win 7 64 bit.

Good luck with that. Don't toss your XP machine.

Or consider dual boot with XP/Win7.

Hi edDV,

I did download whatever drivers there was available at the Grass Valley site but could not get the card to work.
Guess I have to keep searching.
Thanks for your input.

You will need to dual boot to XP to keep that card working. Or, try the "Run as" XP in Win7.
