Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 XP (Deluxe), Windows 7 Pro 64 B  

Are you trying to watch TV or do something else with the card?

I would suggest you start from the beginning again...

Removed and delete any and all drivers for the TV card from your PC.
This includes any software for the card too...

Restart you PC, let windows try and find the card, making sure it doesn't install any drivers.
If it does, then you didn't remove the old ones correctly.

Then manually modify that ini file again, exactly as I did above.

Then manually update the drivers and point them to the folder where the ini file is located.
It should then install the drivers...

Install Dscaler, and make sure to follow ALL the instructions correctly during the initial installation of the software.

It should work just fine from there...

Nope the ini file is not intalled properly there is ayellow warning after it's been installed.

Then you haven't configure the file correctly...

As I said before...

Remove everything and start again...

Trust me, it works if you just follow the steps carefully...

Try to disable the Driver signature ..
on my W7 64 i need to do that, but only have success disabling driver signature with this Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b - NGOHQ.com (dseo )
Now i'm watching my tv, but i can not capture ..

Regards

Hello,
I've just purchased my Win7 and try to follow your instructions. I installed the driver, but I cannot change the Bt848.inf file which is located in:
C:/Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository/bt848.inf_amd64_neutral_1233a628e97127de/
I need to have System Privileges. How did it work for you? Is this the file I have to change? Is there a way to get System Privileges? (I tried but with no luck) My Win7 version is Home Premium, is it of any importance?

Best regards,
Pawel

You need to edit the file before you install it!!!

Check my original post and start from the beginning!

Anyways, that location will always be blocked by windows, and is only a temp storage facility....

Start from the beginning, edit the file first with notepad, then install.

Have fun!

Hello again,

After I had to reinstall Win7, it didn't want to start after disabling driver signature using Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider, I tried to install the drivers again. Here's what I did.

1. On a fresh Win7 I had sth like "video multimedia controller " in "unknown devices". I installed the driver from previously modified .inf file.
2.System said that the driver is unsigned and didn't turn it on.
3. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it, but with no luck.
4. I uninstalled it again.
5. I installed the audio driver from the same .inf file, and system accepted it.
6. Reinstallation of video driver was again unsuccessful.

If anything comes to your mind which might help with that, please, don't hesitate.

Regards,
Pawel

btw Here's the answer from Leadtek support, which you probably know already:

Dear customer!

Thanks for your contact.
Unfortunately, it has already phased out.
So the chip of it might not be supported to Windows 7.
But you can try to use the driver for Vista to install.
But unfortunately, it doesn’t support to 64bit of OS.
And there isn’t any chip used for TV200 XP Deluxe that compatible to 64bit OS.
So we might not develop the driver for 64bit OS.
Sorry for your inconvenience.

This can be a bit tricky to install if you have already tried other drivers....!

Windows 7 "stores" all of it's drivers, whether you remove the device or not.

If you have tried a few other drivers, I would recommend using a package called CCleaner (Piriform - Download CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, Speccy - Millions of users worldwide!) and run this to clean out old files and also redundant entries in your registry.

Also make sure that you have totally uninstalled and/or removed any files from the Leadtech install.
This could involve manually cleaning your registry!

Then try everything again.

If it still does not work, then I would suggest a format and re-install of your OS.

This does work, I have it running on Windows 7 x64 and it is working 100%.

Make sure of all the above and then re-install as per the instructions I gave.

Have fun...

Hi,
As I re-read the thread, I think I found out why it didn't work out.
I was using the BtInstaller-amd64-5.3.8.64 while I should have used the btwdmdrv-src5.3.8.64 - is that correct?
Is the file btwdmdrv-src5.3.8.zip ok? As it does not have 64 in its name.
