I've just had 2 more thoughts on this (trying to think back, because I did this the day Windows 7 RC was released, so it's been a while). Thank you Damian, I will attempt that later and report back. FINALLY!! (I haven't tried this method with any other Pinnacle cards/sticks, but in theory, this should work for any - in case anyone else has the same problem!) Good luck, and let me know how you get on! DamianC
PINNACLE PCTV 800E EXE FULL
As an extra note, an added bonus to Windows Media Center, especially if you're in the UK, is that it now includes full MHEG support (digital text, or "The Red Button" functionality). Once you've done all that, I suggest a reboot, just to make sure everything's properly, then Windows Media Center should find it, and should work perfectly.
PINNACLE PCTV 800E EXE INSTALL
Note, if you can't find the pinnacle drivers folder, it should be in the following location (you might need to show hidden files, or type the path here into explorer, replacing C: with your drive letter, and Username with your Windows user name): C:\Users\ Username\Pinnacle\TVCenterProSetup\Driver\PCTV 71e\32 bit If you can't find it there, then search your PC for "Pinnacle", and you should find it, if not, re-run the downloaded executable from the pinnacle website, but cancel the installation before it tries to install the software - this should leave all the extracted files, including the drivers on your hard drive, in the location above.

Next, in Device Manager, right click on the Realtek 2831U device which is incorrectly identified, but is actually your Dazzle stick, choose "Update Driver Software", then "Browse my computer for driver software", and point it at the Pinnacle drivers folder (see below). Then reboot and re-insert the Dazzle TV stick. Remove the TV Stick, and then uninstall ALL pinnacle software, from "Programs and Features" (Pinnacle's TV software won't work anyway, crashing before/during use, as you've mentioned). Device Manager says the device will not start again now.Īh, yes, I had that problem too. If I restart I can get it started again but it soon crashes again.

DamianC, Attempted your workaround got the Vista drivers Device Manager shows Dazzle 71e as a RealTek 2831U device got the TV stick working in Pinnacle TV Centre Pro - but the application crashes. I can provide more detailed instructions if needed, but iit should be fairly simple.
It was a fairly simple process - and I actually prefer the new Windows Media Center to Pinnacle's offering, anyway!! Try this, and see if it works. I extracted the installation files for the latest version of the pinnacle software for this card from Pinnacle's web site, and easily installed the Vista drivers for the TV Card (which seems to appear as a Realtek device for some reason) through Device Manager, you can then use this TV card through Windows Media Center. I've been trying to find information on the Dazzle 71e problem myself - now using Windows 7 RC (7100) - and have had no success whatsoever with Pinnacle's TV software, or locating drivers on their site, BUT I managed to find a workaround. I suggest a reboot after this, to ensure everything is OK. inf file, this will only work with this device too) If that doesn't work, try the process several times, after a couple of attempts, it will give you the right drivers installed.
PINNACLE PCTV 800E EXE UPDATE
Then, open Device Manager, and point it to update to the Pinnacle Drivers of your CD (or wherever, but note that ONLY the drivers specifically for the 71e seem to work with this device - and checking the. When the Device driver install popup appears, there's the option to cancel checking windows update for a new driver, click it quickly, before it gets a chance to do anything. However, I did manage to get it to install the correct (Pinnacle) drivers by going through the following: Uninsrall the (Realtek) drivers (and tick the option, on the confirmation window that opens, to remove installed drivers). I can't quite remember exactly how I did this, so I've just removed the drivers, and started from scratch to get you an answer, and had the same problem you have with it telling you the correct drivers are already installed.
Sometimes Microsoft think's they're cleverer than we are!! (and on the whole, they're probably right!!) For UtenteAnonimo. As a footnote to this post I would add - beware of Windows Update attempting to reinstall the old unusable drivers to your Dazzle 71e! I made the mistake of not checking what I was downloading, thought it refered to my RealTek NIC and Turned my usable Pinnacle PCTV 71e into an unusable RealTek 2831u again! So if you find you have that sort of update, hide it! Thank goodness for system restore - phew.!!!
