Issue with SMI Grabber driver
Issue with SMI Grabber driver
Hello. I hope i'm posting in the right place?
I have a problem, I'll try to explain as best as i can. My hard drive recently died so obviously i had to reinstall windows 10.
After i reinstalled i plugged in my EasyCap SMI Grabber. Windows tried to install a driver but i kept getting a error telling me the device cannot start. I had used a driver backup tool.
Out of curiosity i created a virtual machine but this time i installed the driver BEFORE i plugged in the grabber, i was asked to trust the source and i agreed, this worked and now the device seems to be functioning on the Virtual machine..
I went back to my physical machine and i attempted to remove the driver and reinstall the working driver before i connected the grabber but once again the device won't start. As it's a new machine i didn't get the opportunity to create a restore point so i was wondering if there's anyway of fixing this issue?
I can post any information that may assist in resolving my predicament.
I tried using driver magician but it's not displaying the grabber in the list of drivers. I also tried pnputil /enum-drivers but no joy.
Have you attempted to use drivers from that source?

Hi Lutfij. It seems you might have a bit of confusion about how the drivers are set up. I’ve checked, and it looks like the driver needs to be installed before the grabber, even after two clean installations. I’m not sure if there’s a way to skip the default drivers, but I haven’t found any options in the apps you tried.
