Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP RM Drivers ?  

Check this out. I bought this TV card back in 2004, I was looking all over the manuals, install CDs and stuff and it just said WinFast TV2000 XP WDM! Not RM, Expert, Deluxe, Global etc. Needless to say that I can't even find this on the manufacturer's website let alone the drivers, and of course, non of the drivers for the mentioned models work on my TV card. Trying to force the drivers to install doesn't help much, as the TV card simply doesn't display anything when I open the PVR application. Sometimes it says "Cannot preview video stream" or something like that, sometimes it does start but there is no sound no matter how much I meddle with it, and sometimes I simply get a message "WinFast PVR application has stopped working".
This is one of the problems that made me switch from Vista back to XP, but I was hoping that with Win7 things would be different...

@iron2000 - Darn, I was hoping we'd got you working there. I guess the only hope is someone (with a lot more skill than I) writing those drivers. Did you try renaming the them to force the Vista drivers to install? I know it's a workaround and not a fix and may break your machine; but i'm just curious if it's been attempted with your model card. Otherwise I'm outta ideas mate.

@Mattz - My pleasure, I hope you get yours working. Please post the TV200XP drivers if you're successful. Good Luck!

@Sopolias Falst -Isn't WDM Windows Driver Model? Otherwise, iron2000 seems to have a pretty good grasp of the cards and chipsets, maybe he/she knows what drivers you need (if they are available). The only boxes I can think of left to tick (or not mentioned on your post) are:
- Get the lastest application, I think there is a PVR2 that works for your card that has replaced the PVR application shipped on the CD (this worked for me, with the PVR2000 card).
- Try running the PVR app in compatability mode (for XP). Good luck!

[LATE NEWS]

Hey iron2000,

A user called MikeEx has apparently tweaked the old BT878 drivers and got them working on Win7 and Vista 64-bit; but for a different TV card. In the downloaded file there are instructions that include Winfast 2000 cards. I have no idea if this helps you; but you might be interested - here is the forum link so you have all the information:
http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-...r-drivers.html
TV Tuner drivers - Page 2 - Windows 7 Forums
His latest drivers are on the second page; but there is info about them on the first.

@TimStitt The aplication itself isn't a sproblem. Back when I was using RC, I remember that the Action Center found a Solution, and in there was a direct link to the driver. I was curious as to which driver it offered to download, but when i got the file it only said "X86", as in 32bit of course. Now when I try to troubleshoot it just says that Microsoft is looking into the problem blah blah blah.
I WAS able to use the TV card in the previous instalation of Win7 (7600) but I have no idea which drivers I installed XD

@iron2000 I don't have the box anymore, I don't remember it saying anything other than "WinFast TV2000 XP" and both XP's and Win7's Device Managers say the same. "WinFast TV2000 XP WDM" and that's it.

EDIT - Okay, since I saw that you guys talked about Cenxant something-something, I actually opened the case and looked at the card, it just says "WinFast TV 2000 XP", but here's a piece of crucial information: Conexant Fusion 878A
There's a lot more number, I wrote them down in case I needed them. This must be helpful!

No use at looking in the .ini files
The disk contains drivers for "WinFast TV 2000 XP WDM" as well as VC1000, PVR2000, DV2000. So hell yeah, I didn't narrow down my choice, but did the exact opposite XD
