cant seem to find that zeph ?

Bare in mind that the folder and file names ending in ~1 have been shortened for MS-DOS 8.3 Compatibility so a folder called "My Documents" could be shortened to MYDOCU~1.

[paul11974]

oh well looks like no digital tv on the pc for me

[popper]

right, lets give this one more try.

the reason your seeing that error is probably because your OS thinks its now got the device installed and is trying to start the app and failing.

what we need from you is:
what entry is now in your device manager.
it will be in 'sound,video and game controllers' as per my #18.

what files are on your USB DVB-T cd , to make that easyer for you, do this:

go here and grab and install
http://www.freecommander.com/index_en.htm

start FC up and point it to the cd drive letter.
highlight it, then goto the 'folder' option at the top and
select 'make folder list' the option will default to c:\FileList.txt

in the other window click c: and find the c:\FileList.txt double click it and that file will load into notepad, select all that text and copy it and past it into your next post here so we can see
what files you might use to get this thing working.

at some point you are going to delete the device in the device manager BUT NOT UNTIL we know what it is (so tell us, as iv already said)or risk killing/removing the wrong thing so at your own risk as usual.

if the c:\FileList.txt is very long then you might need to refine
the file but usually a normal cd contents are limited so shouldnt be a problem.

you might as well put that ppcompat.txt here too, frominside FC click c:
again 'file' click search and put that ppcompat.txt into the box, when found double click that and again it will load into a notepad, as above copy/past.

you also asked me to do this ( what we need from you is:
what entry is now in your device manager.
it will be in 'sound,video and game controllers' as per my #18.)

i cant seem to get this info for you

[popper]

well, its not a problem, everyone has to start somewere, and youll do fine if you just keep at it, we cant have you missing the WC can we LOL.

ill look over this later or tomorrow, but the others might look through and type up their thoughts too.

that enough?.

id type more but iv got some step by step text to write for a new online friend to get on with............

---------- Post added at 01:17 ---------- Previous post was yesterday at 23:55 ----------

i see 'the others' didnt bother to type up their thoughts, shame.
the good news is that list looks really simple, and you only have 1 driver suitable for your machine to choose so thats good.

we or rather i, seeing as noone else seems available to help, need to get you used to getting to, and useing the device manager, as that is probably the most used section of windows for trouble shooting etc, so its something you need to be able to do for this problem and in the future too.

do this:
click start, click control pannel,double click system, click hardware,click
device manager (in sp2 its at the top, in xp/sp1 its second down),open the window
full so you can see al the entrys.

just for interest:
are all the entrys + or is there any red or yellow expanded - entrys ?, if so
they need looking at sometime.
click 'sound,video and game controllers'

bingo, we should now be able to see your USB DVB-T device listed there.
in my case, as said before, its 'usb digital tv receiver' and its not got any red
or yellow problems, yours might have embda or simular as part of its name at a
guess, thats the full name im after.

i dont use 'Free commander' usually, i prefer 'windows/total commander'
but iv just noticed if you click the far right blue computer icon
it opens a window with the device manager icon you can also click to ger there
quicker, but use get used to the old standard windows way at some point.
-----------------------------------------------------
AFTER you have become happy about getting to your device manager and finding that
problem DVB device and type it name here then and only then
should you worry about the next bit.
these are the files you need to concentrate on, nothing else is
importent.

you might be in luck as i am, in that, usually the driver dir does not have
one of those 'SetupDrv.exe', and in my case the BDA drivers i use for my cheap
yuan USB card that file allows me to install AND uninstall just the driver, and
leaves the tv app alone, so lets hope its the same for you too.
usually people only have the option to unstall/uninstall the whole driver and app
at the same time, the file above will make it a little simpler to uninstall , and
by that i dont just mean delete the copyed files but also remove the registry
entries (you dont need to know about them at this point usually being so new).
im going to assume at this point, that you have managed to get to the Device
manager and can see what looks like a valid and working entry for the DVB-T and
will post its name next post.
double click it,click driver, click driver details.
1:
you should see several something.sys files after
c:\\windows\system32\*
with the words BDA somethng (in my case bdaln.ax,BDA_capture_220.sys and
BdaSup.sys)
2:
IF the files do not match your files above
emBDA.sys, emPRP.ax, emAudio.sys, emOEM.sys then its pritty clear the MS update
has installed its BDA drivers and there lies the problem probably.
got that?.
i like to right click driver .info files to pre-install them, and for you (i
think everyone should use these 2 pannel file managers like fv and W/total
commander)the easyest way is to start up 'free commander',
click Extras,click settings, click view, and finally click 'show hidden files'
keep in mind, the novice user shouldnt really be seeing much less deleteing or
otherwise mesing about with these hidden files, so keep that in mind, and realise
your doing this just incase we need to go into the windows dir and hidden sub
dir's to see and copy over files if need be later, notice theres loads of
apparent junk files/dirs inwindows dir, LEAVE THEM ALONE, its not a problem, but
would be if you deleted the wrong one.

right to pre-install the cd drivers:
goto E:\USB_350U
and right click emaudio.inf, select 'install', do the same for embda.inf, thats
it, and hopefully that will copy the right files to the right windows dirs, but
not yet add the right entrys into that weard widows registry yet, that will
happen when the unknown device (twice)finds the right drivers this time.
got that so far ?.
by now you should have been able to find the device name or perhaps 2 names if
your DVB uses 2 devices, one for video, one for audio, mine has just 1 and works
fine.
if as per 1: and they do match the files names in your cd drivers bit, then i still
need to know.

is that clearer?

you need to tell me your info the same info my ntl website url is showing you.

if you want to grab screen pictures just get the screen as you want it , device manager with options
showing, and the driver file details, then press the print screen, sys rq key, load up paint
'start, all programs, accessories, paint'
and press ctrl+V and that grab will be placed inside paint, save it as a jpg and sent me a link to it or
email me the pictures.

you can work it out from my ntl url above and add @ntlworld.com
