Hi Tim. I have installed the NT PVR software at least 25 times now, and I am
becoming an expert on it <<GRIN>>. We had Perception machines all over our
booth at SIGGRAPH (in:sync) There are a few things you need to check out.
First of all, the latest version of the software I know of for NT is 1.38. You
should try to get the latest version from where ever you got the last one.
There are a few things that could be wrong. An incompatible HAL or BIOS or BUS
speed (which since it works under 3.1 this !probably! isn't the case.)
Misinstalled drivers could also be the culprit (they misinstall themselves!).
In your WINNT35/SYSTEM32 directory there is a program called "regedit32.exe".
Run it. It brings up the equiv. of the WIN.INI in windows 3.1. (but much more
complex and more organized). Click on the hkey_local_machine window. Now
select current_user (I am doing this from memory so I could be missing a level
here) and then choose services, and then find DPSPVR. Check through the lists
and look for
path's that are incorrect. If you find something that looks wrong, double
click it to change it. It will mostly look like gobbledy gook, but just look
for the path's. This is generally where the trouble is.
If all else fails, you can try deleting the entire "folder" and re-installing
the PVR software.
Hope this helps.
Eron
