dstack1014 May 6, 2011 6:24 AM (in response to able123)Ok. Apparently my problem is that the version of the driver I downloaded is NOT backwards compatible with my Decklink SP PCI card and PP2.0. I'm desperately looking for the following driver:
Decklink 5.6 for Windows XP.

John T Smith May 6, 2011 8:32 AM (in response to dstack1014)Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
.
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
.
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
.
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
.
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up -

dstack1014 May 6, 2011 8:54 AM (in response to able123)Thanks Robodog! Bingo! I thought I was going CRAZY looking for this!
Now I have to figure out how to get my desktop back to normal. You know how Decklink/Blackmagic gives you the third monitor display for the desktop? Rather than monitor #1 being where my start menu location, it's in monitor #3. I'm using Matrox Powerdesk for my Matrox Millennium G550 graphics card.

able123 May 6, 2011 12:03 PM (in response to dstack1014)well, good luck getting all your screens back to working order. As for me....I just bought a new weber gas grill that is really small
http://www.weber.com/explore/grills/gas-portable/weber-q-200
and has this folding weber "stand" ....which is pretty cool ....and its near my back door of apartment and I'm trying to figure out how to keep it from being stolen right away... I'm thinking maybe if I surround it with scary looking hissing snakes ! ??
meantime ITS BEER THIRTY !
I hope I dont get crazy later , after too many beers, and try to fire up this new gas grill ( never had one before ) and cook the pork chops in my refrigerator.
If you hear a big explosion in NY and see snakes flying through the air ....and pork chops.... ....

A tip from a "grilling fool," and one prone to announcing Wine-thirty early and often - always get the grill started and well underway BEFORE declaring anything-thirty!
I hope that you do not make FoxNews - "Breaking news! Most of Long Island destroyed by unknown device. Could this be a terrorist plot?!?!?"
