drivers for ADS videoXpress .. [solved]

[vhelp]

[success] .. see post # 3

After searching around for a Windows 7 driver, I believe to have found one, but am having trouble installing it.

In the device manager windows, the entry for "VideoXpress V2 Analog Capture" has a yellow exlamation point, and the Diginal Signer: says "Not digitally signed".

I read somewhere that you can complete these types of installation but I don't know how.

How do I bypass or over-ride the windows digital signature so that this driver installs ?

I never got the program to work with W7, I installed XP on a unused PC and it worked OK with that.
But you might be able to turn off 'User Account Control Settings (UAC)' and try that.

But turn them back on when not using the program.
Look in 'Control Panel>>Action Center>Change User Account Control settings'.
Also use 'Run as Administrator' when installing.

Hi, I did finally get it working on the laptop with windows 7 home premium 64bit. I just did a few captures. Not bad for a rinky-dink capture card. Its a "hardware mpeg" device about half the size of a cigarette pack. Anyway. It looks good.

I followed these instructions for the digital signature issue, and the driver finally loaded. I was very happy to see it listed in virtualdub.

So, now I can capture lossless with it, too, to my surprise.

Good to know. I backed up a dozen or so VHS tapes to MPG video with the device and tossed the tapes
and I am now VHS free.

It was adequate for my purposes after my ADVC-100 died. I still keep the one XP PC around for some old programs.
