Hauppauge says that CD version is supposed to work for the USB2 AND the PVR150 devices in Vista64 but I can't get either to work.
The only thing I found in this forum that came close was something about a misplaced usbscan file but that file does not even exist in Vista64 SP1.
Can anyone PLEASE advise ?
Well after trying & re-trying different scenarios , due to Hauppauge support saying "just point Vista64 to the CD install folder" , I FINALLY found out why my PVR USB2 will not work in Vista64.
Hauppauge support via email:
"some models of the PVR-USB2 do not work under the 64bit platform, if you
could tell me the five digit model number of you unit I could verify for you
if your unit will work in vista 64bit".
Oh ok. Of course I have one of the "some models". Hauppauge support failed to say WHY some models do not work via Vista64 & why others do. And since Hauppauge knows there are problems with some why don't they issue a driver that WILL work in Vista64 ??
Also , as noted , why does my PVR150 have the exact same Vista64 install problems as the PVR USB2 ??
Surely Hauppauge's , arguably , best selling internal/external PVR's can't both have the same flaw...or can they ??
What a bunch of crap.
