    AIW 8500DV question

    I recently installed this video card on my system, but for some reason the wdm capture driver is not installing. Sometimes it is giving me an read memory error on the install.

    sony sdp-e800

    I have a sony sdp-e800 that I use as an rf demodulator for my laserdisc player. I have noticed that my unit seems to get warm to the touch, warmer than my other ht components.
