i'm trying to install a DV now lite on a A7V266 + AMD thunderbird by all means and it doesn't work. Windows display a "the data is invalid" message when installing the driver.

i tried all the differents PCI slots on the motherboard with exactly the same result. I assigned different IRQ to PCI slots (excepted shared one, of course) and this is the same.

i think those cards can't deal with windows 2000... let me think how it has been programmed, writting anywhere in the system memory, because Windows 2000 doesn't allow this. So don't be surprise when your Windows 98/Me system crash with a FAST DV now card!

Dom,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. However, I have DV-NOW working with Win ME and it's fine! It's never crashed yet, which is more than can be said for Premiere 6.0!
I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experiences with Windows XP, Home or Professional Edition. I am very tempted by the £50 cashback offer on an upgrade to XP professional but am reluctant to take the plunge if others have had problems getting a DV now to work with it.
