I'm sorry, but I have read through all 9 pages here and still cannot view any video from my camera.

- I have AHP3.204.
- I downloaded x10drivers.exe
- I updated and commented out the 3 lines, then the 2 lines (uncommenting the IYUV_32.dll in the CopyCodec definition)
- I changed the 2nd to last line description to add Modified at end of string.
- I've reinstalled the driver successfully in device manager (in Imaging devices, now called X10 VA11A Video Capture Modified)
- I've gone in and enabled many services which I previously disabled to make Vista lighter weight.  Unloaded, system runs 61 processes.

I'm running Vista Home Premium, Version 6.0, Build 6000.

Any help or direction is much appreciated. :(

Does anyone know if there is a driver for the VA11A that will work for Vista Home premium?

That's because X10 is more interested in marketing product than fixing problems like that. X10 hasn't taken the steps to create drivers for it to work on Vista yet. I too am disappointed that they don't post a disclaimer with using the VA11A with Vista.

There have been some limited successful work arounds posted on this forum.

Good luck.

Hello,

I have the same Issue as Dgarces. There is no  "Open" so that you can re-install the special CA506AV.inf with the ;;;  according to
the instructions.   So somthing is missing a step or did not run it or something.  Does anyone have successful steps to get the
VA11A working on Windows Vista  or  know what  should be done different in place of the  Open mentioned  above?

I tried re-install and  all the visable options but there  is no Open to re-install.

Thanks

Well, I am new to this forum but I did read through the posts, tried the suggestions but it would not work with vista. Anyone have any influence or friends that are working on these drivers? Vista is supposed to release SP1 this week, so it should meet the criteria of someone who stated that no operating system from Microsoft is considered stable until the 1st service patch.

Maybe. Optimistically I'd say the odds might be more than 50% in favor. However, realistically I still don't expect any rush on their part.

At least they won't be able to use that excuse any more.

After re-reading this thread myself, I believe the part of the thread being referred to starts here:

geolog:
The reason why you can't find the post that states how  dgarces3 modified the VA11A drivers to run under VISTA is because he didn't post one! You have to read the ones prior to his and after to piece it all together!
So few people tend to take the time to post exactly the steps they took to get something to work!
    Note Credit should be given to:

    [li]bnocturnal for posting the how to edit the dll
     [/li]
    [li]moocow for Posting the steps to get Vista to load the driver 
     [/li]

    [/list]
    Both of which  dgarces3 did! ;)
    Hope this Helps ;) clear up some confusion!

    thanks
    will give it a try. 

     If not I'll make the machine a dual boot and load XP on it. Which is another option.
    Anyone interested in dual booting Vista and Xp can do a google search or here's the link I used.

    Hi,

    I got my wireless camera work on AHP (Ver. 3.206) installed in Win Vista Home Basic 32-bit OS.
    Thanks for all you guys posted all info on installation of VA11A on Win. Vista.
    I read all 9 pages and like to summarize the steps that get driver installed in Win Vista and work!

    Step zero: (from moocow )

    Turn off User Access Control (UAC).  It's under your user profile, and is tuned off by unchecking the box in the window that appears when you select this control.


    step one:(from bnocturnal )

    1.Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\DriverInstall\VA11A Video Capture"
    ((It always good to backup the file going to be altered.))
    2.Locate the file: CA506AV.inf  and make a copy of CA506AV.inf and rename it to something like CA506AV-backup.inf
    3.Open the file CA506AV.inf in Notepad and find the following section:

    [SPCA506AV.CopyDrivers]
    CA506AV.SYS
    STREAM.SYS

    [SPCA506AV.CopyCodec]
    IYUV_32.DLL
    MASH263.DRV

    5.  Change that section as shown below... (add semicolons in front of 3 lines...

    [SPCA506AV.CopyDrivers]
    CA506AV.SYS
    ;STREAM.SYS

    [SPCA506AV.CopyCodec]
    ;IYUV_32.DLL
    ;MASH263.DRV

    4. Save the file, and close notepad

    Step Two: (from moocow )

    Click on start, type CMD in the search box, then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to open the DOS-type dialogue box as an administrator.

    Type bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and hit Enter

    Step Three:(from moocow ) and me ;)


    go to Device Manager
    Locate "Other Devices" and there are two "unknown device" with an exclamation point.
    select the top of the two unknown devices, the other will be an audio device( No need for now).
    right-click on the selected unknown device and select the Update Driver Software option
    Click "Browse my PC for driver software"(locate and install driver manually)
    Click "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\DriverInstall\VA11A Video Capture
    you can see VA11A video capture driver shown up. Highlight it and okay it. It will be installed.
    A red warning box will appear, select install anyway, and it will finally lnstall. 
    When successful, you'll see the VA11A under Imaging Devices in Device Manager with no exclamation point.

    Plug your CM15 and camera via USB, lunch AHP and you got the video!

    Hope these steps save all newbies a lots of time in the future. :)
