I've been trying to find information on the Dazzle 71e problem myself - now using Windows 7 RC (7100) - and have had no success whatsoever with Pinnacle's TV software, or locating drivers on their site, BUT I managed to find a workaround.
I suggest a reboot after this, to ensure everything is OK. inf file, this will only work with this device too) If that doesn't work, try the process several times, after a couple of attempts, it will give you the right drivers installed. Then, open Device Manager, and point it to update to the Pinnacle Drivers of your CD (or wherever, but note that ONLY the drivers specifically for the 71e seem to work with this device - and checking the.
When the Device driver install popup appears, there's the option to cancel checking windows update for a new driver, click it quickly, before it gets a chance to do anything. However, I did manage to get it to install the correct (Pinnacle) drivers by going through the following: Uninsrall the (Realtek) drivers (and tick the option, on the confirmation window that opens, to remove installed drivers). I can't quite remember exactly how I did this, so I've just removed the drivers, and started from scratch to get you an answer, and had the same problem you have with it telling you the correct drivers are already installed. Sometimes Microsoft think's they're cleverer than we are!! (and on the whole, they're probably right!!) For UtenteAnonimo. As a footnote to this post I would add - beware of Windows Update attempting to reinstall the old unusable drivers to your Dazzle 71e! I made the mistake of not checking what I was downloading, thought it refered to my RealTek NIC and Turned my usable Pinnacle PCTV 71e into an unusable RealTek 2831u again! So if you find you have that sort of update, hide it! Thank goodness for system restore - phew.!!!
