[AG-TECH] Osprey 300 capture card vic woes

[Niall Moran]

Thanks for the reply. The Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) is the
only option present in this configuration menu.

Think I will just format one of the client machines and reinstall
everything the way it was done on the working nodes. This should verify
( or not ) that using the driver installer was what caused the problem.

It just seems weird that it would affect the vic and not any other
capture software.

Thanks again,

Niall.
