MS DV camera and VCR problem. |
|
|
Hi,
I spend most of the day trying to solve a problem that just
'happened'.
My W2000 Pro with Canopus AceDVio card that worked perfectly yesterday
refused to capture anything today. The problem seems to be that in
'imaging devices' I have 'unknown device' instead of Microsoft DV
camera and VCR. When I try to 'update driver' the system finds
msdv.inf (as expected) but I get 'an error occured during the
installation of this device. The data is invalid.
So far I have:
un- and re-installed the AceDVio (also in another PCI slot).
re-installed DirectX 9
un- and re-installed Let's Edit
Googling the groups brought no answers only people with similar
problems :-((
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Bye Maurice

If you do simple uninstall and reinstall the current driver is not updated.
The system finds the driver present on the system and uses it. You have to
force the system to take the driver you want by doing a manual installation,
navigate to the location of the driver, choose that driver only and then
click the OK button.
Go to Device Manager and right click on it. Choose update driver and take
control from there.

The problem was that the driver is not 'standalone' but part of Win2K.
What did the trick was remove the new hardware 'image device'. Renamed
msdv.inf to msdv_inf.bak (just in case) and then went through the find
new hardware again.
When asked for the driver location I pointed to msdv.inf on my laptop
(also W2K). Since no driver files were found automatically I had to
find them myself. iyuw_32.dll was nowhere to be found so I downloaded
it (after a google search).
In all... problem solved :-)
Thanks.
