tv, vid capture card issues.

sinclair_tm · 01-20-2006, 11:33 PM

i got a k*world "v-stream dv/av expert tv stereo" video capture card so that i could watch tv, and play my ps & dc (see the side board for the rest of my computer's specs). it came w/ power vcr 2 v3. it worked alright for a couple of months, but would every now and again get a ms error saying it has performed some illigal operation, asking to let ms know, or just close it. but the funny thing is that if i just moved the diag box aside, the app seemed to still work just fine! then i blew away win xp some how and did a clean install. now its popping up even before the app fully loads, every time. i've tryed updateing the drivers and powervcr, but to no availe. i have nero sw that has some video capture ability, but i get no sound, which is no good for the tv part ( i got the sound part of the ps & dc going to the stereo), and it crashes sometimes too. so i have this $60 card in my computer that i can't use! but w/the clean install, i went to a sata drive for the os (but left the ide for extra space), upped the ram to 1gig from 512mb, and got the latest nvidia drivers so i could play bf2. any ideas of what it can do? thx.

post your system specs including the power supply and did you upgrade it along with everything else

click on "my system" to your left for my specs. the psu is a 480 watt, and as i said, i had the tv card before the upgrade.

see if you can borrow a 550w supply to try in it

now why on earth would a bigger power supply keep my tv software from crashing?

underpower can cause a lot of unexplained problems and you are running a lot on your current power supply,so it is worth checking if just to eliminate it as the problem

psu didn't help, any other ideas?

see if you can pick anything up in the event viewer
try reinstalling with a/v disabled

well for the most part, the sw seems to mostly work as it should. and as far as installing only parts, its drivers and one app- power vcr. the heading of the error has this:

but i can't copy paste, or i would. it wants to include this file titled 7496_appcompat.txt.

PVCR.exe
see if there is an update install program for this at the cyberlink web site,are you turning off a/virus while installing

i have updated power vcr with the latest patch that i could find. and i do not have any anti-virus software running.
