Dazzle DVC 90

[natemarchessault]

Hello. I've been having a LOT of trouble getting my dvc90 to work on Windows Vista. First off, every time i try to download the studio (v9) i have from the CD it says unknown OS, understandable because when 9 came out vista wasn't out. So I try using the .exe file that pinnacle says will work with vista. Well, it will install and when it says "installing device drivers" it freezes my entire pc up. Then at last I think I've found a solution, a .zip file with the drivers in them offered by you guys seen here kind of works, but when there are drastic changes in color, example: screen dimming then turning to gray, it will freeze up for a good amount of time before it changes. I would really appreciate the help, if there is anyone out there that could help me.

also, I don't have Easy Media Creator 9 Deluxe Suite installed on my computer, I'm running the dazzle as if it were a webcam. I used to do it on my XP all the time and there were no issues whatsoever. So once again, all I can do is ask for help and hope there's someone out there with the answers.

Also, this one lists the drivers from Pinnacle. I don't know if that's the same one from the KB article.

I never got teh Dazzle working on my last machine because of the USB chipset. I had read on the Pinnacle website that there are known issues with certain USB chipsets like the VIA which is used on a lot of motherboards.

 

DO NOT plug it into a hub. Make sure you plug it directly into the computer. Some have posted not to use the front port. That plugging it in the back USB port worked. If you have an open PCI slot, you may have to purchase a separate card for it. If I remember correctly, Pinnacle suggested cards with the NEC chipset.
