How do you delete drivers so new hardware is detected again? Tv Card

Lethagized · 14 Dec 2007 at 17:39

Ive just bought a tv card http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=150193324258&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=005

I installed it, powered the pc up, found new hardware wizard pops up, installed the drivers and the wizard popped up again, this time it cant find any drivers. I tried to uninstall them in device manager, but the card isnt being detected at all now and is not showing in device manager.

I would like to get it back fresh again, just like when i first turned the pc on and the found new hardware wizard popped up. This whole problem is down to crap drivers, quite a few others are having the same problem. Has anybody else got this card? If so can you help?

Thanks in advance peeps!

The TV card will be detected multiple times when first installed. Make sure you have all of the correct drivers for it before you start.

Damn this is getting quite annoying now. I cant install the drivers because the card is classed as an unknown device. Ive borrowed a mates card from his advent T11 and this is doing the same thing. Can someone help. Is there a way of installing drivers a manual way without using the device manager. The device is unknown so it dont know what drivers it needs to search for.

when you install drivers for something through device manager, you browse to where ever the drivers are saved on your disk or cd. this is the manual method (as opposed to most drivers coming packaged within a setup program)

Try instaling the drivers without the card in the system, once the drivers are instaled then re boot with the TV card in and it should find the drivers.

I've managed to get it working to an extent. All i wanted this card for is to convert VHS to DVD. I've managed to do this successfully using the yellow video rca plug, but the tv tuner part of the card still dont work. I know what you mean by navigating to the driver location using device manager, but i navigate to where the drivers are supposed to be and there is nothing to select in the folder, it's empty.

Basically this card is a cheap piece of crap with crap drivers. What it needs is an installer like the nvidia drivers which installs the drivers automatically, instead of relying on windows or the end user to manually install them. I think the whole problem is because they are not digitally signed, windows doesn't install them properley, but it doesn't tell you this, so your left thinking WTF!!
