stinkbait Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Pinnacle has a new driver that you might want to try. Here's the link: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/docsupport1.asp...RAVE&page_id=69 I says it's for the PCTV Rave, but it works great with the regular PCTV and PCTV Pro (I'm using it with WinXP). You have to do both the 5.01 and 5.1 installs before running because 5.01 is for PAL only. I would also recommend doing a complete uninstall, including the pinnacle registry cleaner. The new driver is WDM, so it works with all the major capture and recording software. Plus, it uses less resources while running. Hope it helps, I know the pinnacle drivers can be a real mess.

gandolas Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 I've already downloaded 5.01 and 5.1 (installed already in 2k and xp).. but i'm going to try to uninstall it, clean the registry and try to install it again... Thank you all by the help.. :) (hope it works....................) :ermm: :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandolas Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Plus, it uses less resources while running. I don't think so.. the new version uses about 4o mb of ram, while the 4.02 only uses 10 mb... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
