Constantly crashes on win 7, usually when playing a video. Windows Experience Index will crash it right at the end, 256MB or 512MB card Any solutions?

I have had this problem on one system. It was an HP which already had a built in video that used the same exact driver set and also had a port that required the purchase of a special adapter to utilize the 2nd monitor. Other than that, or something similar, I don't have a clue.

Either you've got a bad card or you have other issues with your system. I've installed dozens of theses without any problems.

It is not the best card for video and heavy graphics. It is great for old computers that need to run modern operating systems i.e. Windows 7, Windows Vista. I recommend disabling windows aero before you play a video. If you are watching a youtube video, I recommend download the latest version of Internet Explorer 11 and adobe flash player 13. I have noticed that if you use IE and flash 13 with youtube it does not crash.

This card was was OK on my 32 bit machine but a disaster on my 64 bit Win 7 machine. Everything worked until you booted up nex time. Then it was blue screen of death. I don't know if it was a bad card or some other hardware interaction. After the time wasted in tracking the problem down, I was not about to continue debugging for Western Digital. Good luck if you try it but it definitely did not work for me.

I am using it with a Win 7 and and Win XP machine without problems. The only issue would be the Video Connector type. This unit uses the older 15-pin VGA which most computers even today do have (for legacy purposes) but if you only have DVI or HDMI then you will either need a converter or get another Splitter with the proper connector.

I have Windows 7 and a 64 bit machine. I can't install WinPoker, but I can play from the disk with no problem. I bought it less than a year ago so assume it's the latest version.

No problem running Orcs Must Die 2, Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition and Warcraft III on Win7. My only gripe with the system is a hardware option to turn off the mouse pad. The mouse pad layout does get in the way with wasd games. In FPS games, if the character randomly shoots or strays to the left then an adjustment in posture remedies the issue.

Anyone have any issues with .avi files that are over 1gb? I can fast forward through it, but when I try to play it normally, it cuts at about the 1hr 50minute mark.Thoughts?

Did you check the video drivers? try to install the latest ones from the official website for win8.1

I posted before this is not the ideal hardware to use with windows 7. It can be however run/used under win7 using compatibility mode. The link for the proper win7 drivers is listed in the q&a.; It is a very reliable and useful piece of hardware. Use it on a PC running xp and it is flawless. If this is intended for 24/7 security recording using it on ones main pc is not a very good idea as with any such similar hardware. The constant accessing of the HD to read/write the video data is enough wear for just a standalone.

I am running Vista(32) and it works fine. I don't use the "what you hear" function. I don't think Win7(32bit) will have any issues with this card. But it would be worth your while to find out if it will work with 64bit Win 7 if you plan to install the 64bit version.

I have Windows 8.1 and it installed just fine. I have not actually transferred a video yet but all of the elements seem to function just fine. Remember that Windows 8 is really Windows 7 on steroids.

THIS works., It's a BIG pain, and Sony really should figure this out but I did it and it worked for me... Home Blogs Rodney Reynolds's blog Fix For Sony Vegas Crashing While Rendering/Editing If you are having issues rendering or editing in Sony Vegas Video Editing software (Pro or Studio), this might resolve the issue until Sony resolves this with a patch. I know it did for me. As a side note, Vegas 9c Pro fixes a lot of compatibility and stability issues. The problem that I had was that when I try using a EVGA X58 + Intel i7 920 Combo and render to the Sony AVC MP4 format it crashes immediately. This didn't happen on my previous X48 computer system. I've tried both Sony Vegas Media Studio 9 and Sony Vegas 8 but both crash on trying to render Sony AVC MP4 format. I've tried just about everything and have the same problem. I've tried reinstalling Vegas, I've tried installing a fresh copy of Vista and then Vegas, I've even tried installing Win7 Beta and Vegas. I've also removed overclock and all default system setting. This fix worked for me on Sony Vegas Studio Pro 9: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&Mes... Here are the details on the fix: "Most 32 bit exe and dll files have a 2 gig maximum memory cap. I've been playing around with CFF EXPLORER (free download) which is a program that allows you to easily open the exe or dll and click the 2 gig memory switch that allows it to use more than 2 gig. I reset the memory flags in vegas80.exe m2tsplug.dll mcstdh264dec.dll sonymvd2pro_xp.dll to "greater than 2gig" and did a render of which I almost always crash on (avchd at 1920 render to m2ts 1920@16Mb/s with AC3 audio) I didn't crash! In fact memory usage shot up higher than i had ever seen vegas use (it shot up to 5gig and leveled off.... usually it climbs no higher than about 3.5 gig and creeps a little) The whole render process of avchd seems to be quite a bit more stable

I tried on a Dell XPS with Win 7 Pro, 32 bit and would not work, no video out. The older AGP card, a 128 meg card, no driver was everfound to work with it on Win 7 so this attempt to get accelerated graphics to work with Win 7. The older card was fine with XP 32 bit.

I am returning my copy. It works with Windows 7 but no single project can be more than 20mg. It has great features but crashes and you cannot retrieve what you have created. It is a known defect, they told me they are working on it! They told me to try Print Shop 23.

I talked to avermedia and the SD card has to be formatted as a FAT32 specifically. I did not see that option in Win 7 (my OS). I downloaded AOMEI Partition Assistant and reformatted the card to be FAT32 and it works now for me.
