HELP! USB 2.0 Video Controller error?

[EvanA]

I was installing a windows seven driver for a USB 2.0 Video Controller and it says something else has the same name! How can I fix it!

Hi,

I would look through Device Manager to see if that device name is appearing elswhere. If so then it might not be the particular controller you're installing that's showing an error in Device Manager.

You could try uninstalling the device (and checking the'Delete' software box if it appears) then robooting Windows to see if it find anything for it. You should also be given an option to search online thru the Windows Update service for drivers.

Okay, it worked this time but I still have problems...

Ok, now that the device has been found you should be able to update the drivers. What is the make and model of the device?

The make is Syntek and the only model I found was USB 2.0?

What exactly is the device? Is it a webcam/camera or similar...

The device is like an easycap device to connect consoles (wii, ps2, ps3, xbox etc) to your computer. Here is a picture of what it looks like.

Try downloading and installin the trial version of Drive Genius and see if it shows any information regarding the driver.

Right-click the USB Composite Device and see if you can get some system info for it.

I couldn't right click it, but I did get some small info. I circled it in Red.

You might want to try running Windows Update and see if it shows any hardware updates. Also, did you not get any software with the device to install?

I did have a disk. I installed it but it wont start up. It says it's not compatible!

The you will need to open 'Computer' from the Start Menu then right click the CD & select 'Open'. This will show the contents of the disk. Now you need to run the setup in Compatability Mode for Vista, if that fails then try it for XP.
