Nvidia WDM Drivers (Again!)

I'm having that problem, with the "Device cannot start" error when I try to install the wdm drivers.
I've got an MSI Geforce FX 5600 128 MB card.
And an MSI K7N2-Delta L
1 GB ram, 350 w psu.
Running XP Pro.

When I try to install the wdm drivers, I either get the exclamation thing in the device manager, (using the old drivers on the disc)
or, if I use the new drivers, I get the "Device cannot start" error.

Very frustrating.

I was wondering if anyone has figured it out yet, or if there are new drivers out to fix this.
People report that changing the power suply helps, but others say it didn't help.
I think it is most definately a driver issue.
Where would I go to get the correct drivers?
MSI? Nvidia? Was there ever a definite solution?

once downloaded the .exe file, tipically this is compressed object with winrar or similar. Right click on this and extract to a dummy folder.Then right click on MyComputer / properties/Hardware/Peripherals (on XP-2k) select your graphic card /properties / driver /update driver and assign the correct path of your previous dummy folder. This is the CORRECT way, because the O.S. need to identify the .inf file provided.

Oh, and do I update the drivers for my video card?
Because these drivers don't go wiht the video card, they're their own drivers. It's not vga drivers, it's wdm. I dunno. I can't use these drivers on my graphics card, it wouldn't work. But I can install the wdm thing, and then update that driver from the one I download, I'll try that

The WDM is for the video capture on "Personal Cinema" or "Vivo" equipped models - if your's is not one of these, then the WDM driver is not appropriate as there is no hardware for it.

If the drivers were on the original CD, it may be a generic CD that they use for the whole range, with or without the capability.

I just bought and installed the MSI FX 5600 Card and the WMA Drivers worked fine for me used the latest MSI Video Drivers so what brand / Model did you get?
Have you got the latest VIA drivers for your board?

No. Not WMA drivers.
WDM.

My model has vivo,
oddly, I didn't get the disc with the video editing software, it was missing frommmy box. Oh well, wouldn't have used it anyway.

I know lots of other people ahve had this same problem.
I'm not talking about anything dealing with wma, I'm talking about wdm, for vivo.
Video out works fine, but the capture part, doesn't work at all.

I've tried all the drivers out there, same thing.

Sorry, a typeo on my part, I ment the WDM capture drivers.

But I believe the same drivers are used for all the MSI boards as its basically the same chipset, just the different cards run at different clock freq, etc. There were 10 cd's in my box, only installed stuff off the first one, the blue cased one.
