SkyStar 2 PCI

Hi guys on day 3 of my challenge to install the skystar 2 pci on my PC i think I'll give it up. Maybe it works only on pre-versions of windows 7? I use Windows 7 32 Bit Build 7600 its the offical full version. All BDA drivers keeps getting me a Bluescreen. The Network drivers will install sucessfully but they leave a yellow sign in the device manager with an error (code 10) all of the NET drivers. So what can i try further on?

One positiv mark is that Win7 is really stable after a minimum of 15 Blue Screen of deaths

Suggestions are appreciated

I havent followed this thread so this may have been addressed. when you installed the drivers (i assume vista drivers) were they installed in compatibility mode? also if you go to c:\windows\minidump, zip the dump files (*.dmp) and upload them to us so we can analyze them.

ken

i install the drivers by using inf files in the device manager so i can't use the compatibility mode ?

Find attached the minidumps didn't get any info only Vista driver faults and that the symbols are wrong but i am not that pro in reading dump files.

you mean the last technisat driver 4.5.1? It worked on RC.

Yes, i mean 4.5.1, 4.3.3 Beta, 4.3.1 and so on i didn't find any driver which will work all BDA drivers brings a Blue screen.

The Net drivers only show the card with a yellow sign.

Did try nearly all versions of drivers...

Update: After an fresh installation of Windows 7 Professional Build 7600 32 Bit and another 5 hours of trying i will kick out this card where it comes from.

The support doesn't answer on emails so I'll sell this thing.

Conclusio: every BDA driver keeps getting a blue screen, Net drivers gives a Code 10 error i tried really all versions which are available. So be careful buying this card!!!

Nova , May be a hardware conflict. I just installed it on Win7 RTM. It works . Even the accompanied software DVBViewer T2 works.

Hi Patmos,

well i am one step nearer... i have installed APCI drivers and now i can install BDA drivers but i also get here a yellow sign. I'll restore a fresh image and try it further on at day 4 on my challange. Maybe a IRQ issue (code 10) but how to find out which one the card is using...

thanks god after 4 days it works... the problem may depend on the chipset drivers for P5B-E motherboard and the APCI drivers and i also cleaned the pins from the Skystar 2 card with alcohol (salycilspiritus)

First install new P965 drivers directly from Intel and not from Asus!
Second restart
Third Install APCI drivers from ASUS from Downolad Menue-> Utilities.

Then 4.3.3 Beta NET drivers restart...
4.5.1 BDA drivers and praying that it will work!

TE2 will works too but Attention on doing a Setup from CD or the driver directory only use the TE2 Setup nothing else.

*flump* i am drinking some beer now!

Happy with you. Chipset driver is very important to update. Check if you have SS2 with mediacenter. For me it says NO TV SIGNAL. BTW I also installed DvbDream and works great.

He suggest me to update the Chipset drivers and (i was right) to clean the Pins (gold contacts) with a rubber which i 've done by cleaning them with alcohol.

Hope this will help someone else
