Multimedia Controller Driver

[Guest]

Hi
My computer is Dell dimension 2400
I 've re installed windows again. I now see device manager asking for a
driver called "multimedia controller". I ve tried every thing to solve this
problem but failed. I was actually trying to install a Pinnacle PC TV tuner
card and since then it is giving this message. In more details it says there
is an unknown device (tv tuner) in PCI slot 1 and there is no driver signed.
I 've tried every possible driver places, the cd which came with hardware
(tv tuner), dell resource cd and windows own drivers as well and every thing
failed.
Can any one please help me ?
Many thanks

Hello,

The dialog box says that it cannot find driver for the device, or the
driver is not signed?

In the first case, go to http://www.pinnaclesys.com and see if there
are any drivers for your tuner.

In the second case choose to install the unsigned driver.

Greetings,

Philip.

Many Thanks for your help Phil, but i have tried pinnaclesys.com.
The actual message appears as windows have find a new hardware device
(multimedia controller) & cannnot find its driver.
When i go update driver details, it says system has found a new hardware in
PCI slot 1 and cannot locate the driver.
The pinnacle software won`t let me continue unless i install the hardware
properly with the correct driver.

See why I am not buying branded PCs?

What I can do is to give you some links with drivers which can help:

http://www.pinnaclesys.com/wwwmenu_n.asp?Langue_ID - the support page
of Pinnacle
http://btwincap.sourceforge.net - Generic driver which pretend to
support almost all video tuners on the market
http://www.iulabs.com/drv/index.shtml - Another generic driver

Hope this help, especially the generic drivers.

Philip.
