It's not recognised by windows 10. Device manager shows an error. I found an older post with a 32 bit driver, but is there a new, Win 10 compatible 64 bit driver available for download? The driver on the provided DVD doesn't work, as noted above.

My computer doesn't seem to recognize the USB video converter that came with the Rescue Your Video-Tapes!6. I tried uninstalling and installing the driver again and again from the DVD and from Magix website and still wasn't recognized. No matter what I did, windows doesn't recognize the installed driver. When I open Magix Video Easy the driver doesn't show, only the webcam driver shows, and I can only capture the audio from the camcorder. I'm running windows vista SP2 32bit. Anyone came across this problem?

I am having the same issue, only differance is I have Win XP w/SP3. When I plug the USB wand into my system I get the 'new device detected, loading driver' and then a no driver found. I have also tryied reinstalling and updating the program to no avail. This seems like a fatal error on Magix's part not to have caught this before releasing the software.

Adobe PDF printers use the Adobe PDF Converter drivers. I am using 3 different machines to print PDFs and all of them have different versions of the driver which causes the pdf printing times to be very different although i am using the same job options profile.

1. How can i check which version of the driver does my printer have? The only place i found any info on a version is from Printer Hardware properties > Details > Driver version/date but i am not sure if this is the correct location. On 2 of the machines there is also a version marked in the name of the Adobe pdf converter driver when installing a new printer. Also there is no way to see which driver i have installed currently( or i just can't find it?)

2. Is it possible to install the same Adobe PDF converter drivers on all 3 machines? I have tried reinstalling acrobat but it still installs different versions for each pc. I have not found a way transfer the drivers from one pc to another.

The conversion to PDF is later done using Acrobat Distiller, installed as a part of Acrobat. Different job options can affect performance. Distiller itself has changed little in 20 years.

The actual printer driver is supplied by Microsoft. You can check versions of the (many) DLLs and driver modules by printing a test page. I don't know why you care about the version, but it is absolutely wrong to try copying Windows driver files between systems; Windows is designed to prevent this sort of thing, and to silently undo any changes forced through somehow.

You seem to be making a huge leap: you have a problem; you find a difference; you are convinced the difference is to blame for the problem. Well, you're stuck with the versions, I suggest you look deeper into the issue you are actually trying to solve.

I have checked every PDF printer setting, every Illustrator setting. The PDF printer's profiles. Everything is exactly the same on both machines. If i rule out the windows drivers, there is nothing that is different on the 2 machines. Is there maybe another programm that makes it slower. Should i start looking from somewhere else?

Someone with a lot more knowledge than I can tell me why this is a stupid idea. If I get this, a device driver converts the device's IO scheme to one the OS can understand. If that's true, shouldn't it be possible to write a program to convert the windows standard for IO into the osx one? Then any device driver for windows would work (with this conversion) under osx. If it somehow is possible, it'd be darned useful, although I'd have a hard time seeing it for performance critical things like graphics cards, perhaps more for network cards and the like. Just tossing it out there.

I would like to see the day someone would make something like that. But I would have to say it would be close to impossible to make one. If you ask me it is impossible because of the huge differences between the OSs. Its like someone being able to make an OS that runs windows and mac apps. Simply out of this world.

A similar project exists for Linux and FreeBSD, it is called NDISwrapper or NDISulator, for wireless and network cards... taking a .sys driver for win and converting to a loadable module in linux or freebsd without recoding anything... It should be nice to port it to OSX.

Ndiswrapper is evil. On Linux it gives the false sense that a device is supported. You don't get the full features of your network adapter when you use it. Don't hold your breath waiting for an OSX version.

Imagine forking a few of the open source virtualization projects which presently exist, eliminating all the functions that would not be of any use and adding or improving appropriate support for direct access to hardware, a custom tailored version of Windows which all things unrelated to the functionality of the hardware and host software are removed. Integrate this product into the Darwin/XNU kernel and voila, Windows Native Driver Support. However, its limitations are obvious, this would consume a greater amount of system resources, also it would increase the overhead so performance will be more or so unpleasant.

Out of curiosity, how does parallels handle device drivers? I realize the conversion is the opposite way. Also, it bears mentioning that in theory this isn't one program, but several, one for each class of device (network card, printer, sound card, etc). I figured such a thing was in principle possible, but had no illusions that it was likely to be attempted anytime soon (if ever).

Good question. Windows has supported drivers for many more devices than OSX and I don't think Apple could re-write all of them. The technology must share the PCI/USB/Firewire/etc bus hardware between the native OSX operating system and the Windows guest, in which case it's actually the native Windows drivers controlling the devices with a thin sharing layer for interrupts and I/O data paths in between. But I'm not sure.

It depends from card to card... the project itself is very cool! It worked for me in freebsd + at those times an unsupported broadcom wifi card. There's even a thread in insanely about porting it to osx... supporters wanted!

I have an 800XL with U1MB and a built in SIO2PC board. Up until this evening I didn't know what model it was. It has a USB-B port. (I've since found out it is an Atarimax SIO2PC board. More on that later).

I read it needed the FTDI Virtual com port drivers here which I downloaded and ran the installation executable for. It looked like they were confirmed as installed, but nothing ever showed up after in device manager (ie no USB serial converter or USB serial port), even after reboots and unpluggung/plugging in the USB cable, etc, etc).

So after more reading up I managed to download the drivers separately from the FTDI website (CDM v2.12.36.4 WHQL Certified) and following the guide here on page 9 of the guide I installed the USB serial converter. I then went into the settings for the USB serial converter under device manager and enabled the "load VCP" option.

The USB serial port then appeared when I plugged and unplugged the USB cable, again with an alert indicating missing drivers. I repeated the process to manually load the drivers from the WHQL certified ones mentioned earlier.

...but powering up the Atari does nothing. It either just goers to the Basic ready prompt or, if enabled SpartaDOS-X, but I get 138 errors. Also the RespeQt activity log never does anything when I power up the Atari.

So as I say I then found with some help that I had an AtariMax SIO2PC board, so downloaded the 64bit drivers from the AtariMax forum. I removed the USB serial port and USB serial converter and their drivers via device manager, and installed the signed Atarimax drivers. Sure enough the device is listed as Atarimax SIO2PC in device manager. But even after a reboot and uplugging/plugging in the USB, I now do not get the USB serial port nor the USB serial converter set up.

So with the Atarimax driver installed I now don't get ResepQt appearing to handshake with the board. (Obviously because there is no VCP loaded or USB serial port is absent and isn't pointing to the Com3, etc etc.)

EDIT: Incidentally I also then tried to install the USB serial port and converter drivers alongside the Atarimax driver, which of course rendered the latter unable to start as indicated in the device manager.

I see. I think because only until this eve I was aware this was an Atarimax device I had just run on the understanding all Sio2pc devices worked with RespeQt. I was thinking it was more of a case of Windows 10 being the main issue.

Looking at thread posts like this one, it appears once you purchase an APE licence it's for a lifetime. So it may well be that if Steven has my original licence still on record I can just upgrade from the DOS version to the windows version and pay the lesser amount if I recall).

It's a real pity I can't use RespeQt as it does appear to have more features. Not that APE doesn't look good. I was just hoping to avoid spending more cash than I already have. I guess beggars can't be choosers.

@flashjazzcat Hi. Sure. Unfortunately Ape seems my only option with my installed Atarimax sio2pc USB board as per 1st post and days attempting to get it to work installing FTDi drivers automatically and manually. With this Atarimax board nothing is plug and play with the latter until I just installed the Atarimax 64 bit driver and ran it with Ape trial.
