    Default Display adapter not detected

    So, I ordered a new video capture card/tv tuner. One big issue with it though. When I have it in the computer, no display adapter is detected in the device manager, making my 8800GTX not fully active. I mean, I have a picture on the monitor, but the video card isn't really processing anything. It's like if I just put this computer together and installed no video drivers, the picture would run through the card and to the monitor, but the card wouldn't actually be doing anything.


    The video capture card I have is this http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16815116633


    Everything works fine with the capture card out, but dammit, I want to get this working. I do not want to have to RMA this thing.

    The driver for the video card is from october 30th. But apparently, according to the Nvidia website, a new one was released today. Though I can't install it as it says it's corrupted, no matter how many times I download it.

    The only conflict seems to be that it's not registering any display adapters when the capture card is plugged in. It doesn't even display "display adapters" In the device manager. The capture card is under "Sound, video and game controllers" in the device manager.

    Check to see if the bios is pointing to the pci or pcie slot as the first adapter... I had that issue on my new mobo...

    There's no reason for that to be, as it's not a new motherboard or anything. No reason for it to have changed. And I did check, and it still says that PCI-express has the priority.

    I knew that was a long shot, but I just had an issue that sounded close.

    Have you tried a different pci slot for the capture card? I know it is another long shot but some mobo's share resources for the pci-e slot and one (or more) of the pci slots.

    I'm pretty sure I've tried all of the PCI slots for it. The installaiton guide also does say that on some computers it may need to be installed into the first or second PCI slot. It's still not working though. I have 64 bit Vista Ultimate by the way, but it says it's Vista certified.

    have you checked your dxdiag?
    If not open it up and check out your vid stats. It will tell you easy enough if your 8800 is processing correctly. Under display it will show your manufacturer of the card, along with make and model all your specs. If in dxdiag you have no registered 8800 then let me know, but if it is plugged in and the system is booting through the 8800 it may just be a bug in windows that lacks display information in hardware settings. In which case try sending M$ a note and see if they have anything wise to say.
    Peace, love and Anarchy!
