nVidia WDM capture driver not detected/in use on Win2K

[Tant]

I'm hoping someone has suggestions on what could be preventing the nVidia WDM drivers from being used by any video app on a Win2K platform.

Specs for my system can be found in my profile. In summary:

Win2K OS recently patched up
Athlon TBird 1.2GHz proc, 512MB pc133 RAM.
Mobo=MSI KT7Pro 6330 VIA chipset
Vid card=MSI GeForce Ti-4200 128MB 8xAGP card with video-in.

Drivers: nVidia v6.13.10.4109
nVidia WDM 1.08 (keeps away that nasty white band)

I also dual boot with WinXP. These exact same vid drivers allow the card to perform flawlessly in WinXP but are detected yet unavailable in Win2K. Meaning no splats in device manager.

Does anyone know or have suggestions on what to look for to get video capture working under this OS? I'm at a loss as to what might be preventing it's use. I'd toyed with the idea that the Windows File Protection (WFP) might be nosing into my driverly business but haven't pursued that quite yet. No glaringly obvious apps seem to be actively using this driver.

My search of the forums turned up a couple similar references to the matter with no resolution.

For the time being I can easily use WinXP but would like to see this working under either OS.

Thanks in advance,

Tant

I have tried the same thing with the same result.

I have an Asus V8420D and can not get the WDM capture driver working. I have tried all the following drivers aslo.
Asus wdm driver
nVidia wdm driver (1.08, 1.19, 1.21, 1.22)
"default" microsoft wdm driver


I get this error when trying to use Asus DVCR.

"The nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal) service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

Here is what I have in the Device Manager:
Sound, video and game controllers
Audio Codecs
CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
nVidia WDM A/V Crossbar
nVidia WDM TVAudio Crossbar
nVidia WDM TVTuner
nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal) Yellow Exclamation
Standard Game Port
Video Codecs

This is the response I received from Asus:
Please download vcr2.3.5.2 from our website as following URL:
<http://www.asus.com/support/download/selectftp.aspx?l1_id=9&l2_id=2&l3_id=3&m_id=24&f_n ame=AsusDVCR2352.exe>
ASUS Digital VCR2.3.5.2 needs the nVidia WDM capture driver installed. It is available from:
<http://www.asus.com/support/download/selectftp.aspx?l1_id=9&l2_id=2&l3_id=3&m_id=24&f_n ame=WDMCapDrv1190.zip>

<http://www.asus.com/support/download/selectftp.aspx?l1_id=9&l2_id=2&l3_id=3&m_id=17&f_n ame=wdm_104g.zip>
Installation Process:
1. Windows XP OS installation
2. Install Motherboard AGP driver according to the motherboard chipset.
3. Install ASUS Windows XP driver.
4. Install ASUS Digital VCR utility
5. Due to those drivers are not certificated by Windows XP, please install them anyway. After reboot, it will auto detect the new hardware
and install all of WDM driver and capture driver.
6. Please open Windows Device Manager, if you can find "nvidia capture device", "nvidia audio/video crossbar", etc in "Sound, Video
and Game Controller" list and without any Unknown Device, then you can run our ASUS DVCR program for testing.


I had trouble reaching the url's also.
I think the 104g might be the vfw driver mentioned in another thread.

Leo,

I'm using a Gainward Ti4200 with the older WDM drivers (same white box issue), running Win2k SP2. I'm not as familiar with dual boot systems, as I've never configured one, however I'm guessing that you had to install drivers twice (once for Win2k and once for XP).

Did the WDM driver install for Win2k proceed normally? I'll post my driver specs when I go home after work to compare driver versions.

Have you tried installing on a system with just the Win2k OS to see if the dual OS installation might be causing the capture driver not to work? Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver?

My apology, I have almost the same setup. I am using W2K sp3 only and an Asus V8420D card. No dual boot.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I may uninstall, remove the video card, boot up ... shut down and reinstall the card.

There has to be a conflict and I may need to edit the registry or reinstall the OS to get it straightened out. I just have too much work to do to risk being without my computer for any legnth of time.

Perhaps in a couple of weeks I can get back to this.
