Matrox marvel 200 w/ XP NIGHTMARE
After trying every combo of listed "driver / vid tools", considering 2.04 (Latest Vid-tools) won't even install on a completely newly updated version of XP (Windows Installer could not complete installation) sand the leaked Beta just froze my computer when trying to launch the installed software.
The only version that seems to give any result is v2.02 with the 5.34 driver.
It will load, and i can change channels on the PC-VCR remote, I can also select capture settings, but the second I click on general settings, or the record button, freeze-o-rama..... not responding, done, toast.
I have installed every update available for XP, updated the bios on my matrox card, as well as my mother board, checked for conflicting IRQ's, each time, trying to install, uninstall and re-install every combination of driver / vid tools with the Identical same result.
I then Re-formatted, did a fresh install of XP - repeated all steps relentlessly, with the identical outcom, so.... I converted my file system to NTFS re-formatted once again, repeated the whole process..... and 5 days later, of hours a day, I write to you, the group, with last dich hopes of the answer..... I just want to capture MJpeg Video with my video card, and play it back to tape through the line outs on the card.... that's what i bought it for, it really should be simple shouldn't it???
Help !..........Sys info ---------->
