need serious help
08.03.04 at 04:41:03

I have installed a 2nd hard drive on my computer that runs windows ME. I have installed every driver set imaginable and followed every instruction to the word. I have a few problems. I get the error " no tv drivers installed" when i click on the VR. I have no capture device when i use netmeeting. The only problem driver i see in device manager is the TVWDM which has an exclamation warning near it but won't allow me to upgrade a driver and the few times it did let me nothing helped. I would like to use THE BEST driver for using a webcam or netmeeting and capturing video from tv. I use xp to play games...
I have
AMD 2.4
os windows me
512mb ram
60 gb hd

Hm, do you own the correct Regional Version for your Location ?

This means both Windows and the Hardware&Driver, since there are both WDM and VfW (Video for Windows) Versions of the V3-3500/TV Software existing.

(both are incompatible by principle, a Driver expecting VfW will not run under a WDM Windows Version for example)

I believe Video for Windows was inside the European Windows Versions, while the US bases Systems ran off WDM instead. (if Memory serves me correct here)

PS.
I have no Idea if every 3rd party Software (now that you mentioned Netmeeting) works flawless with a V3-3500/TV.
Although the V3-3500/TV uses a Standard Bt848 Tuner Chip, there might be a difference in accessing it. Technically, I think it could (or even should) work, but I've never done anything like that myself.

I can't get it to just be WDM. Whenever i reboot it finds the device and install VFW. I have deleted the drivers and still the same thing...any help on how to fix this above and beyond the tremendous help you have been is very appreciated.

So AFAIK, they cannot co-exist (or run) on one Windows at the same time, since they are separate Windows System components.
