Which DV500+ driver for WindowsXP
Greg Chapman
worked great under Window98 but now the DV500+ doesn't work. The
DV500+ software is version 2.0 and I have read that XP requires 3.0 or
higher. On the Videoguy's website they have two drivers on their ftp
driver download page. My question is, does it matter which driver I
use? Version 4.0 or 4.5 I have a friend who has cable internet and
can download it for me, it would take me about 21 hours with dial-up,
but I want to make sure I tell him the correct one.
Thanks,
Greg

with the cable modem download both ? That way, if you load 4.5 and it
doesn't work, you can try 4.0. Just a thought....

Why go to "Videoguys's" website for driver? Why not just go right to
pinnaclesys.com and get their support download.

WARNING...WARNING...WARNING!!!
Go to the Dv500 forum and read about the PROPER way to upgrade your
drivers... simply installing new over old WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY
If you do not follow the directions found on the Dv500 forum, you WILL
wind up with a card and/or editing software that will not work

I am using a Dell Dimension 8200 with a GeForce MX420 and XP
with the 4.5 drivers and Premiere 6.5
Everything works perfect, but I STRONGLY suggest a clean
install of XP and the rest of the software.
That's right folks ! A Dell Dimension 8200 with an MX420
and NO FRAME DROPS !
'Course the downside is that I have nothing but Premiere on
that computer. I keep all my other stuff on a second machine
which I don't use for editing. Premiere and Pinnacle get cranky
when you have too much stuff installed in Windows.

uninstall the DV500 drivers before installing the new 4.5 driver. I
have done a clean install of XP Pro. I have a swappable hard drive bay
so I can have a nice clean drive for video editing and the wife and
kids can clog up another drive with internet stuff. The drivers page
at the Videoguy's site links to Pinnacle's site so in reality I'm
getting the driver from the Videoguy's and Pinnacle, well sort of.
Thanks again for the information.
