Hi Luis, There seem to be drivers for this card for Win 3.x and 95 which apparently work with 98. Your experience with the card in XP will probably be very limited.
There is an element of risk to your computer's/operating system's well being in the following instructions. Make sure anything critical is backed up on media stored outside the computer. To (try to) assign this card its own IRQ (in Windows95/98): First check to see what IRQs are being used. From the desktop, Right click My Computer. Choose Properties. Click the Device Manager tab. Check that the "View devices by type" circle is chosen. Double click Computer. Scroll the IRQ List to see what IRQs (if any) are not being used. According to the Bravado 1000 manual, which can found at: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/support/BRAVADO/1000/Windows/UserManuals/B1KMA N.pdf your card must use IRQ 7, 9, 10 or 11. 1) If any of those are free (not being used), then pick one. For example purposes only, let's say IRQ 10 is not in the IRQ List. Click Cancel on the Computer Properties box. Find your device in Device Manager and double click on it. This should open the Bravado 1000 Properties box. Click on the Resources tab. Uncheck the "Use automatic settings" box. Using the "Setting based on" drop down menu, see if there is a Basic configuration choice that has 10 as the Interrupt Request with No conflicts(!) If there is one, choose it. If there is not a Basic configuration that works, then highlight Interrupt Request and click the Change Setting button. Change it to 10. If you see "This resource setting cannot be modified, then go to 2). If IRQ 10 is accepted and you get a conflict, then you may be able to resolve the conflicts using methods similar to 2). If you get a conflict free configuration, then answer or click Yes or OK to exit the boxes and restart when asked. You should be good after that. 2) If any of those are NOT free, then choose the device that is using the same IRQ as the Bravado card. Using the method in 1), change the IRQ of this device so that the Bravado card is alone on its IRQ and there are no conflicts. Restart. If your printer is using IRQ7 and the Bravado card is also on IRQ7, I would change the Bravado to a different IRQ and then fix any shared IRQ problems by the above methods. Good luck Luis, you may need it, Chuck Original Message: Date: Sun, 29 Feb 2004 23:27:18 +0100 From: "Cppes MINSAP Guantanamo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PCWorks: problems Greetings I have a Intel P4 1,8 GHz 400 MHz FSB, socker 478, MBoard AOPEN MX4GE (all on board) 256 Mb DDR266, Maxtor 40 Gb, WinXP Pro- SP1 and Win98SE (both) Problem: I have a PCI Truevision Bravado1000 (Video Capture Card), the maker (Pinnaclesys) has not developed drivers for XP, only for win95. In Win98SE the card enter in conflict with the IRQ of other devices (video display and other device use the same IRQ), one doesn't eat to assign him a single IRQ and don't close the system when I execute the Adobe Premiere. The Pinnaclesys recommends to change card, does it cause laughs truth? because this a good card is, with good benefits. What can I make? They have news of somebody he/she will have more developed drivers, for win2000, WinNT or WinME....etc...??? or How to assign him an single IRQ for the card??? thank you Luis Daniel Center of Education for the Health Calle Los Maceo 652 esq.
