Tony there's a way of getting round the digital signature requirement which I suspect is blocking installation if the driver.

This link might help http://www.howinthetech.com/disablin...-in-windows-7/

Tony, I don't know anything about computers to be able to help when things go wrong.

All I know is when I installed mine (I use EZcap, not easycap), it works straight up.

But you could go here and see all the solutions to easycap problems: http://forum.easycap.co.uk/index.php...95d4&board=2.0

It's a whole Forum dedicated to just easycap.

I have also, just today, plugged my EZcap into another PC that has never had an Easycap in it, and it didn't even want a Driver. It just worked. Has XP Home on it.

Click on Start, type UAC in the dialog box and it will bring up a slider control. drop it to minimum and you regain control of your PC.
