ide drivers?

Go into Control Panel and run the Add Hardware program. You may need to provide drivers from the manufacturer to install the device correctly.

What's the model and version of the capture card?

I've used both ATI and MSI capture cards in my BP6 with no problems. The problem is with the drivers; very rarely will you find hardware incompatibilities as such.

Don't try tweakbios. We shouldn't have anything in the BIOS, unless the card requires its own IRQ.

What PCI or AGP card, is in which PCI slot?

What's in PCI slots 3, 4, 5 and ISA slots 1 and 2?

Have you tried this arrangement?

PCI1 - empty
PCI2 - avermedia avertv studio nicam 303
PCI3 - empty
PCI4 - SB Live
PCI5 - empty
ISA1 - Robotics
ISA2 - empty

You may want to install OS new after setting up this configuration. I would if it were my system. But that's just me.

i'm lucky enough my sister wants to buy a card. maybe there should be done a list of bp6 uncompatible devices?

ps. i have another problem (ehhh). it seems as if my win2000 does not want me to have administrator privilages so i cannot install cpu cool it never happened to me so i do not know what is wrong. any help would be appreciated! (if this is off list - my email is lukaru@wp.pl

I still think it's a driver/OS issue. And the only device that would be listed in the "BP6 Incompatible Devices" would be the onboard HPT366

Is this the driver you downloaded?

Well, when you extract the files there should be a folder called "Driver" with DLLs, CATs, INFs, and SYS files. You then need to go into the hardware management screen, then into the properties of the Aver hardware and select update driver. Point the driver update window to the "Driver" folder you extracted earlier.

(i guess the american driver is the same. limitation is only due to transfer limits. or maybe not?)

Right-Click, Save Target As.

You need to add it then.
