TV, USB, working on Win 2000

Recommended Posts

I have managed to get the WInTV USB TV device working under windows 2000 using the win 98 devices. Here is how to do it (pretty much a memory dump):

 

1) download the following from www.hauppauge.com :

usbdr141.exe

hcwsubid.exe

win2v2k22.exe

 

2) create a temp dir, such as c:\temp\TV

3) rename the usbdr141.exe file to *.zip

4) extract usbdr141.zip file to c:\temp\TV (it will ask about replacing a file, just say yes)

5) run the hcwclear.exe program and select the bottom most choice - kills everything

6) reboot if required

7) go to device Manager (my computer / manage or control panel / system / hardware devices ) and select the USB TV card and select properties / Driver / Update Driver / Display a list / Have a disk / c:\temp\TV - select the appropriate driver for your TV signal e.g. Pal I for UK.

8) go to \winnt\system32\drivers and check that the file nuvision.sys exists. If not, copy the one from c:\temp\tv

9) copy all the dll's and *.ax files from c:\temp\tv to \winnt\system32 (This is the sledge hammer approach)

10) register the .ax files with the following commands:

regsvr32 /s C:\drivers\tv\usb.new\NTtuner.ax

regsvr32 /s C:\drivers\tv\usb.new\NTCODEC.AX

regsvr32 /s C:\drivers\tv\usb.new\hcwcapt.ax

11) run the hcwsubid.exe program

12) run the win2v2k22.exe to install the tv viewer

13 - try the winTV2000 program.

 

that is it!

P.S. Sometimes the system does a Blue Screen of Death - this seems to be caused by the screen saver kicking in while the system is playing TV.
