ATI 600 USB won't install on Windows 7 Core i7 System
So, I've tried multiple times to install drivers for the ATI 600 USB stick without success. Tried the LS method (creating a CD from the ISO) as described here : http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...i-600-usb.html. Have also tried the drivers on the AMD/ATI and Diamond websites. No luck :(. Time after time the message is "driver installation failed".
Here are my computer configuration details: HP DV7 6163US Laptop Windows 7 Home Premium (x64), 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz, 4 Core After spending a bunch of money and a lot more time with nothing to show for, I'm starting to become convinced that my system/processor are not compatible with the ATI 600. Anyone have advice? Next step is to abandon the ATI 600 USB and go with capture hardware that is from this decade and hopefully compatible with my PC. Any suggestions? I know the ATI 600 USB is the favorite of most on this forum, but I'm done banging my head against the wall trying to make it work. Using a sub-optimal capture solution is still better than having no solution at all. All input is appreciated. |
Your Windows 7 may not have admin privileges on your account. (My laptop doesn't for example.)
If not, JMP can tell you what to do. (When I need something, I just hand him my laptop. Windows 7 annoys me.) PM him a link to this thread, ask for help. That may be all it is. :) |
Alternatives to the ATI 600 USB

Thanks everybody! |
If I were you, I'd build another capture computer around Windows XP and the ATI All In Wonder AGP cards.
You can KVM the mouse, monitor, keyboard, speakers -- you just need the box. We've had some success installing an ATI AIW in Windows 7, but it works better in Vista. It's best (native) in XP. On a side note: We have some motherboard/CPU/RAM to give away to Premium Members soon. There's 3 here. I'd just assume give it away than sell it. You pay shipping, of course. That'll surely help some of you. I tested these back in December, and each worked. (The ones that did not, I threw away.) One per person, first come first serve. |
I couldn't get the LS method to work using it on Win7 on my mother's laptop. Tried a few different times.
I reverted to the INF-editing method to use the newer eMPIA drivers for the generic device. |

I'm not familiar with the "INF-editing method" you described. Would you please provide a little more information. Right now I'm shut down until I find a new capture method. Thanks, |

To me, it's not clear to me how you are installing the drivers or proving it doesn't work. maybe walk us through your steps. |
Here is a quote of me quoting someone else regarding the other install method, that worked for me

I've done this on more than 10 computers. My method works.
If it won't work for you, you're doing something wrong. (Don't get defensive!) Just step us through what you're doing. Leave nothing out. We can hopefully help you get it installed. :congrats: |
Not sure if you still want me chiming in or just OP, but I followed the instructions exactly, twice, and both just hung midway with 50% CPU usage. Killed the process after 15 mins.
I've used your method before too but this computer just wouldn't do it. |
Before I can move on with giving my own help, I need to know a couple of things, does your Windows user account have administrator rights? And do you have UAC (User Account Control) turned on?
A lot of times a program won't install properly if it isn't installed as an admin, and UAC can cause its own bit of problems as well (not to mention UAC is rather annoying in my eyes). |
Hi JMP, thanks for trying to help.
I am the only user account on my laptop and I have Administrator rights. I checked my UAC setting and it is set for "Always Notify" which, I believe, is the most restrictive setting. Do you think this may be the problem? Thanks for taking the time to help out. Much appreciated. AndyO6322 |

UAC can be very restrictive and annoying, I recommend setting it to NEVER NOTIFY and leave it at that. If you have a good antivirus and firewall, that's all you need.
Set the UAC to Never Notify, reboot, then try again with the install. You may also want to try this driver set as well. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...-Bit%20Edition (Follow steps in post #18 for this) And use the 64 bit Vista driver. |

The details on my OS (version) and PC type (processor type, etc.) are listed in the OP in case there is something particular to my hardware that is causing the problem. Here is a step-by-step description of my installation attempts: 1. Downloaded the two files: ATI 600 USB Drivers for Windows 7 x64 (or Vista64).part1.rar (21.00 MB, 214 downloads) ATI 600 USB Drivers for Windows 7 x64 (or Vista64).part2.rar (20.94 MB, 190 downloads) from Post #9 of thread ATI 600 card doesn’t work in Windows 7, how to use? http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/video-capture/3070-ati-600-card.html#post15505 2. Used WinRar to create file : 10-4_vista32-64_t600usb_wdm 3. Right clicked and ran in compatibility mode (Vista SP2) 4. Ran Express Install 5. Install finished and got option to view install log. Log as shown here: Existing packages AVIVO64 Packages for install ATI Catalyst Install Manager Final Status: Success Version of Item: 3.0.769.0 Size: 20 Mbytes Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Final Status: Success Version of Item: 9.0.30729.4148 Size: 7 Mbytes 6. Ran E:\Install\XP\CMC\Setup from the CD (burned from ISO image). Finished and got option to view install log. Log as shown here: Existing packages ATI Catalyst Install Manager AVIVO64 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Packages for install Catalyst Media Center Final Status: Success Version of Item: 4210.00.00.00 Size: 10 Mbytes 7. Plugged ATI600USB stick into USB port. “Installing Device Driver Software” action box appears in taskbar. Then the message “Device Installation Failed : No Drivers” appeared. The entire process was repeated by using the CD burned from the ISO image created from the 15 downloaded files in the original thread ATI 600 USB video capture card drivers + Catalyst Media Center [DOWNLOAD]. http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/video-capture/3136-ati-600-usb.html#post15888 The result was the same. “Device Installation Failed : No Drivers” Please review these steps and let me know what the problem might be. Appreciate you taking a look. AndyO6322 |
I would recommend trying a new install with the device plugged in before install, and using the installer from the CD, should be located in \Install\Vista\Bin64 and run Setup.exe
If in the end it still does not work, then you may have to manually install the driver via windows Device Manager. |

Thanks, AndyO6322 |
I was able to install this on 2 different computers running Windows 7 x64 without a problem.
With the downloaded driver from ATI there is an extra step. After you run the installer and it installs, you need to navigate to "C:\ATI\Support\10-4_vista32-64_t600usb_wdm\Packages\Drivers\WDM\TVW_HSUSB\TVWH SUSB" and run setup.exe This will install the driver for windows to recognize the device. For CMC you will still need to use the CD image as mentioned in the original guide. If you decide to use the driver install from the CD image and it does not recognize the device after install for some reason, you will need to navigate to "\Install\Vista\Packages\Drivers\WDM\TVW_HSUSB" and run setup.exe If you follow these steps and are still having problems let me know. |
JMP, I ran the additional setup.exe as you described in your post #18 after a fresh install of the drivers from the AMD/ATI support website. When I run setup.exe it gives me the option to Modify, Repair, or Remove the USB Driver Setup. I tried both Modify and Repair, but still no success. The "ATI TV Wonder 600 USB 2.0" icon appears in the Device and Printers window but it has a ! mark over it indicating that drivers are not installed.
Is the Modify, Repair, Remove screen what you saw when you ran setup.exe? Thanks, AndyO6322 -- merged -- SUCCESS! I tried the EETI inf file method msgohan described in post #8 and it worked perfectly: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...html#post25279 Thank you msgohan and everyone else who offered suggestions. |
After trying to install the ATI 600 USB all day on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer, and having it hang up time after time, I finally read this thread again. All I had to do was pay attention!!:o I went to user accounts and changed the user account controll settings to Never Notify as recommended by JMP in post #14 (also had device plugged in - post #16). It worked and is now installed!! On to the next step...thanks so much!:)
