Ye4p,m well sometimes the guide is the story on how to
make a watch when you just want to know what time it is.


Over time I've become frustrated with the 'if you want to
do this, go here, if you want to do that go there and if you
don't fine the answer then start over by going here etc etc.


Today what I would like to do is find out what works and what
doesn't and framre rates and such can be discussed aFTER
I figure out where the on button is.

To whit:

I have WinTV2k software installed and I am getting dll
errors.

I put the board in an old machine and Win98SE saw the device and I eventually got the driver installed. From a
previous install (which I changed for ease of getting at
the hardware repeatedly) I had made the program copies from another disk and they installed ok.

BTW, while reading the FAQ (I did read through the whole
thing) they said one piece of capture software is preferred which name I already forgot.

The btw question is can I use softeware other than that
specified from the manufacturer for bt8x8 board?


Ok back to original topic:

First error in Wintv32

"Wintv initialization aerror: a required component (hcw
Chan.dll is missing."


A different error in WinRadio (which I don't think I'll
ever use)

" A required DLL file HCWUTIL32.dll was not found.


These dll errors should not have anything to do with the
\fact that I have no connection to the video tape player I want to use and it is not hooked up yet.


So: how do I solve the dll errors?


or


What is the name of the replacement program to
capture the video and audio?


While going through the Wintv32 program install and
device driver install, the system wanted me to restart way
too many times. One dll here, one dll there all on the same
routine. How can this process be simplified?


The short term goal is to get playback on _some_ program
to know the card is working at all from the video tape player.
