Trouble Installing PCTV HD Pro Stick (801e) .INF not supported

[LatinHacker]

I am having trouble installing the item mentioned above. I have downloaded the drivers, and at first i did not know what to do with them. But i learned that i had to right click and click install. I have done this, but i have an error. "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation". I have no clue as to whether or not it is for x64, or x86, but i am running x64 Ultimate as you can see. And the files are located on my desktop.

hi latinhacker , the drivers must be installed from device manager it is the only way to install a .inf in windows7 , have a read of this article Driver Update Windows 7 - How to Update Drivers in Windows 7 - Device Driver Update i will not post the drivers for you as you already have them

Thanks for the link. But a little question. Would i find it under USB controllers, other devices, or in another tab? Or is there a name i should be looking for?

Hmm...that same page also has these instructions.

How do I install the driver?
Once you have the file downloaded you need to unzip it. Locate the file and right click it and select "Extract all..." to unzip it.

Once unzipped have the PCTV device connected to your computer. Click on START and then right click "Computer" and select "Properties". In the properties window that opens click on "Device manager" on the top left corner.

In device manager go to "sound video and game controllers". If you see the PCTV device, right click it and select "Update driver" and then choose "Browse...". At this point browse to the unzipped location for the driver and let it update.

Oh, well i looked under sound, video and games, and i couldnt find anything other than High def audio device, and my Realtek audio device.

LatinHacker, have a look in device manager for "unknown devices" with a triangle with an "!" in it
