Vista RC1 wont detect Nova-T PCI
Hi all
I installed Vista RC1 and it would not detect my Nova-T PCI card. Thinking its a hardware fault I uninstalled vista and put XP back on and the card worked fine. I then put vista back on and again it didnt detect it. So I manually tried to install the drivers. I managed to get the Hauppauge Wintv 88x TS Caputre driver installed fine after many BSOD but nothing else has been detected. What can I do???? |

Contact the hardware manufacturer for Vista drivers.

I don't think any vendors that did not supply RC1 drivers prior to the
release of RC2 are still supporting RC1 and in fact I believe both the vendors and Microsoft are only concerned with drivers for the RTM release since the Beta and RC phases have been completed.

Chances are high that a driver for one will work with the other.
Also if a driver is not available but is needed, the user needs to contact the hardware manufacturer so the manufacturer knows there is a need. However, the older the hardware, the less likely the manufacturer will invest resources to develop a newer driver. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "JW" wrote in message ...

Thx all for the comments but the main problem is that Vista is not detecting
the hardware to install it. I know the hardware works because it is only 3 months old and I put xp back on for a short while to see if it waorked and it was fine. I just need to know how I can get vista to see the hardware. "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote: Chances are high that a driver for one will work with the other.

The hardware working is only part of the problem.
You need to also have a driver compatible with Vista. Sometimes the Windows XP drivers work for some hardware, but not always. Contact the hardware manufacturer to ask about Vista compatibility. They can tell you if it is possible to get Vista to see the hardware. It is possible there are not vista drivers now but there may be in January when Vista becomes publically available. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Mathew Lawson" wrote in message ...
