Not sure if this is the right forum. Maybe someone can help. I just got a new internal colossus 2 pci card (new in the box but did not come with a disc) running on windows 7 but is not recognizing the card. I've got the blue flashing light which means not recognized by the computer - hopefully just a driver issue but at least there's power getting to the card.
Maybe the card is bad??
I've tried installing drivers -maybe the ones on the website are wrong - successful but it's not recognizing the card model number (perhaps pointing to card issue - rrrgh)
I ran hdwwzd.exe and hauppage is listed but the listed cards do not show colossus 2. Also in devices there is something called WinTV device - I'm sure is supposed to be the unrecognized colossus 2 card. I've disabled this wintv device and restarted only to have windows pick it up again.
On another computer I have the hauppage wintv 1250 tuner card which works great by the way.
If the card is bad everything would make sense as to why it's not working, but I don't know yet if it's bad. I'm considering firing up linux and try to install the card from linux to see if it's a software issue. I've tried checking security issues for software blocking and I've unblocked anything related to hauppauge but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
