Could anyone send me the relevant WIN.INI and/or SYSTEM.INI entries which enable the video capture drivers and software on a Thinkpad 755 CDV. I have a Thinkpad 755 CDV - which has a video capture feature. The pre-loaded software for the video capture is Digital Video Producer/Capture by Asymetrix. I recently cleaned down the system, formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 95. It worked great, cleared off a lot of rubbish and left me an extra 400mb of hard drive space. I re-installed all the Thinkpad features and programmes and new BIOS and utilities from IBM's Thinkpad Web Page, all without a hitch, EXCEPT for the video capture software. Windows 95 reports the video-capture driver is present and working normally and the Digital Video Producer software is working, BUT the video capture module ain't. When I run the Digital Video Capture, I get a messages saying 'CAPTURE DEVICE WAS NOT DETECTED. Another message box then appears advising me to check that the capture hardware is correctly installed and as a last resort to contact Asymetrix - which I did. They replied as follows: _______________________________________________ From: Web Tech Support Questions <tsupweb@asymetrix.com> > Generally, problems like this are caused by either invalid or obsolete > drivers, and if you are running under Windows 95, you may need to download > new ones from IBM's web site, http://www.ibm.com, as the drivers that > shipped with the ThinkPads are 16-bit drivers for Windows 3.1.

Then, try DVP again. DVP is calling the drivers for your capture card. If they do not respond, dvp reports an error of "CAPTURE DEVICE NOT DETECTED ". This means that DVP cannot find the drivers for your capture card and/or the board is not installed correctly. There are no settings that can correct this from DVP as it is the result of the hardware not functioning properly. Have you ran the diagnostic utility for your capture board?
