My oddessy to get my ATI 600 USB device to work properly continues. On Windows 7, the 600 did not like working with
VirtualDub. It would take 25 seconds for VD and the 600 to communicate and get working properly on several commands.
So, the last few days have been spent getting my Windows XP Pro machine re-set up. Installed the 600 drivers--VD and the 600 now hate each other. Full system crash when trying to get VD to load the 600 as the capture device.
I have spent many hours researching and trying different things. I read through the posts on
http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...i-600-usb.html (which started in 2011 and ended in 2013), done several searches here and the web in general, and still no luck.
The most comprehensive approach included uninstalling all ATI software and checking for any other left over bits. I even ran CCleaner--no help. I put the registry entries back because I don't know what damage CCleaner could have done to the rest of the system. I have used the ATI AtiCimUn.exe to get rid of ATI software. I also got rid of Hauppauge software that supported my tuners. It is all now gone and my system is running with basic VGA functionality because the uninstall removed the drivers for my EAH4550 video card.
I reinstalled the XP-based 600 drivers from the ATI disk. The 600 capture device and VD still hate each other and crash the PC.
I removed the ATI software again and installed version 23 of the drivers from the Diamond web site. Crash.
I tried additional reinstalls and different USB ports (they are all supposed to be USB 2). Crash, crash, ad nauseum.
Help, please. I'm in deep in this rabbit hole,
Steve
