PCI Video for Windows NT
Ver. 1.2

Installing the software:

To install the software, simply start the SETUP.EXE program. Backup copies of the drivers will be installed in the DRV subdirectory of the path where you have installed the PCI Video software. You can use them to manually reinstall individual components. To install the drivers manually, launch the multimedia control panel, display the 'Devices' page and click on 'Add...'. Choose the first entry named 'Unlisted or Updated Driver' and click 'OK'. Either enter the correct path or locate it using the 'Browse' button. Now you see a list of all PCI Video drivers and you can reinstall them.

Troubleshooting:

First of all check if the PCI Video kernel driver has been started properly. Launch the control panel and double-click on "Multimedia". Display the "Devices" tab sheet and select the " PCI Video kernel driver" under "Other multimedia devices". Press the "Properties" button. Check if the "Status" line states that the driver is enabled and has been started. If this is not the case (for example: driver is enabled, but has not been started) refer to problem 1 below.

1) Message "At least one service failed or driver failed on system startup" appeared:
Launch the Event Viewer and check if the PCI Video kernel driver "avmdrv32" failed to start. Try to use another memory base address (see below how to do this). If you just switched on your system (no reboot) try to supply a video signal to the PCI Video input.

2)   VidCap: Unsupported video format:
Refer to problem 1.

3)   VidCap: Unable to draw this data format:
Refer to problem 1.

4) System does not boot:
You have either conflicting IRQ settings in your systems CMOS setup or a resource conflict (IRQ/memory) under Windows NT. Simply remove a PCI card (not necessarily the PCI Video) and reboot again. Now resolve your resource conflict, reinsert the card and reboot again.

If you need to change the base address of the PCI Video card, start the multimedia control panel and display the 'Devices' page. Select the PCI Video kernel driver under 'Other multimedia devices' and press the 'Properties' button and the 'Settings' button in the next dialog box.
Now you can change the base address of the card. Do NOT try to change the interrupt! This works with only very few types of BIOS. To change the interrupt, please do so in your systems CMOS setup.
If you are notified that the kernel driver is currently in use, close all programs that use the PCI Video. Another reason this may happen is that you are using the PCI Video wave/mixer driver and it is your only audio device or it is registered as 'preferred device'. In this case, deinstall the wave/mixer driver, change the kernel driver settings and reinstall the wave/mixer driver manually again.
There is a bug in the multimedia control panel which sometimes causes its contents not to be updated correctly. This means when you deinstall the audio driver the mixer driver seems to disappear as well (which is not actually the case). Close and reopen the panel and then remove the (now reappearing) mixer driver.
