[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1276374, member: 141969"] Yes, since the MP Wiki specifically mentions the driver version for the Hauppauge device, you should [B]definitely[/B] update your Hauppauge driver. There may be a version that is even more-recent than the one mentioned by the Wiki. If there are multiple versions available, download and install the most recent. The following looks to be the current version (the name of the driver package suggests that it is from 2017-12-06): [URL unfurl="true"]https://hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_dcr-2650.html[/URL] I understand your reluctance to mess-up a system that still works for WMC. The Hauppauge driver package is an EXE file contained within a ZIP file, so you download the ZIP file, unzip it, and then invoke "setup.exe". It will install the driver, and (from the description on the web page) update the device's firmware. It is not possible to tell ahead of time what exactly the EXE will do, but most installers preserve the existing driver so that you can use Windows to revert the driver to the previous version if necessary. However, you may not be able to revert the firmware update. Nevertheless, since the MP Wiki specifically mentions the minimum driver version required, [I]you must perform this update to have any chance of using MP with your Hauppauge device[/I]. Note that the web page says that for Windows 7 the firmware update may not work initially, but you run it again (read the web page carefully before trying any updates). Also note that there is a separate download for the remote-control software. You may not need this if you use the WMC remote control instead of the Hauppauge remote control.
