When using the setup files downloaded from the dazzle site I get an error message of "no hardware found". I tried the Mojave drivers from dell, no luck there either as windows installs a Texus firewire card on its own, I have no option to stop it.
The card is from dell but in a non dell PC, its one I put together myself with a Via chipset motherboard (Abit MK33) with Athlon processor.
I cant seem to edit the IRQs nor change the PCI bus. I've tried the card in every slot but it only workes as a fire wire card. When I use the Mojave diagnostics everything works until the Cube drivers.
If someone could help it would be great.
Thanks
Tim
Believe that the card is based on Dazzle Movie Studio 2. Is that the same card and use the same drivers as the Dazzle/FAST DV.now AV card discussed at this forum?
Its the DV.now av card, its got the breakout box with all the connections etc and and has DV.now av version 1.4 written on the card.
Did you follow the installation sequence precisely? What do the system/hardware setting show? Do any of the FAST drivers install? When Windows goes to install its default drivers, you have to tell it NO three times, at least with older versions of Windows. Check other threads here for tips when using XP.

Hi,
Windows doesn't allow me to choose whether the firewire device is installed or not, I cant even delete the system files to stop it, they just re-install! I get an error message when installing the FAST drivers saying "no hardware found" and in device manager saying the card doesn't have enough resources, I carn't seem to change the IRQ's for any of the other devices and it doesn't help changing the card into different PCI slots or removing the other cards in the system. Windows puts the card in the sound/gaming device section in device manager, Im not sure this is even right?
I have read all messages in this group and couldn't find solution for Windows XP.
I think, the only way is to manually copy fast1394.sys file to Windows\system32\drivers directory to stop Texas Instrument 1394 driver from loading.
But this file is not available from Dazzle site!
Somebody who succesfully loaded Dazzle Now AV under Windows98 or else, could share this file with others here or using Kazaa.
I am pretty sure this is not IRQ problem.
My motherboard lets me manually assign IRQ to PCI slot, so I am sure it is not shared.
I tried IRQ's 5, 7, 10, 11 - nothing works!
I use windows xp and had some minor irq problems. It all worked fine for a few years untill I changed my motherboard and processor.
In the dv.now book I believe it says give the pci slot, your dv.now card is in, an irq of 9,10,11,12. Something like that. I set mine to 9
It all works now. My bios also makes me tell it to manually select irq AND give them all numbers. I'm parphrasing
good luck
oh yeah. get the latest dv.now.av drivers from the dazzle europe site. american site hasn't felt like posting them for some reason. putting a link on a website can be very time consuming
