Hello Folks,
Would anyone be able to provide DETAILED instructions to get a FAST AV Master card recognized and working in Windows 2000. I had it working fine in Win 98 SE, upgraded to Win2000 and have had no luck. I try using the same IRQ 10 setting and D00000000 memory space as before with no luck.
I've seen references to disabling ACPI and such but have no clue what that means or how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
You will find the answer you need at my website.
Thanks Jimmy...I'll give it a try! Lots of useful information there.

I`d be interested to know how you get on!
Never actually done a W2K install myself as I just network my win98se to my winxp pc and edit from there! Works a treat!
I experimented at great length trying to get my AV Master to work in Windows 2000...
I managed to eventually get it to work, but it required stripping the computer of every other piece of accessory hardware, and removing tons of Window drivers and functionality.
In the end, it just wasn't worth it. The AV Master card worked, but nothing else really did (and the machine crashed frequently).
So I ask, why even bother trying? You won't be able to have the AV Master running alongside any other applications, so why waste a computer this way? If you have a computer that you want to dedicate to the AV Master, why not just install Win98 and have a computer that you can do other stuff with?
Hi Guys,
Haven't had the chance to actually try some of the suggestions/procedures yet. If it turns out to be not very straight-forward, I'll probably abandon my efforts and just try to use my new Sony Digital-8 camcorder as a pass-through from my intermittently-functioning Hi-8 camcorder and capture using my Firewire card...I just hate no longer being able to use my AV Master capture card after paying $600 for it several years ago (being a frugal engineer and all)! I've considered making my PC a dual-boot machine and selecting between Win98SE and Win2K but haven't really spent much effort on investigating that procedure either. We'll see how it goes.
