Winfast Vc 100 Xp

Post by Doin »

I just had to have my Windows reinstalled.

Everything is fine except it won't detect my Winfast VC 100 XP video capture card, which sucks immensely.

I can't even install the CD that came with it as it gets part-way and then says 'Not Supported! 97354221'.

Does anyone have any idea as to how to install a capture card?
I downloaded a driver from somewhere but I have no idea how to use it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just make sure the card is well placed in the PCI slot !!!

I have checked that it's securely in the slot.

I have also downloaded the driver but I don't know how to activate it.
How do I do this?
It's a zip file with about 9 files inside with extensions I have never seen before.

Someone suggested I remove the card, restart the PC, shut it down and then put the card in again and see if it detects the card.

unzip the files to a folder (remember where you put it), let windows search for new hardware, then select manual addition (or something like it, when windows says it can't find anything new), then select your card if it's in the list, otherwise choose install from cd/driver/folder (or something like that), then select the folder where you unzipped the files, and then... it should work.

I'm sorry that I don't know exactly which steps you have to take, but I put down the essential stuff, you should be able to figure it out with this ;) if not, contact me, then I'll look deeper into it

Well, I have tried removing the card, rebooting, shutting down and replacing the card. Nothing.

Now I have moved the card to another port and it said - new hardware found but it's taking a long time to search for the install even though I have the Winfast CD in there....


EDIT: Yay! Problem solved! I threw my PC into a stream of heavy oncoming traffic!

Joke. I moved the capture card into another slot and windows recognised it and added the drivers. All is working.
