System conflict created when I tried to fix a Dazzle problem.

Did you configured it um PAL or NTSC color system ?

The issue seems to be more software conflict in Win 7. I installed Pcleusb.exe and it blue screened on just about everything. But all is not lost, I have managed to get the DVC 80 to work using VideoCap.exe. Very basic but at least it allows you to to record/capture in either AVI or WMV

Dazzle DVC 100 blinking screen After I record...

The blue screen is referred to in the industry as BSOD( blue screen of death ) this is a stop screen that is built into Windows to halt on errors whether its a hardware malfunction or incompatibility or software conflicts. Your Dazzle could be faulty or the software is causing the halt screen. This is a major problem with Vista. I have changed most of my computers from Vista back to XP because my Dazzle and new video cam won't run on Vista but runs excellent on the same machine once switched over to XP. Good luck and fell free to Google BSOD for more info.

Welcome to fix yah,

Your IDVDR icon is corrupted I would suggest to you to delete that one. Go ahead and click on start button on your windows click all program click on Pinnacle instant dvd recorder. Let me know if that is working.
If working go back to your all program right click on instant DVD recorder click on send to desktop.

Please try the steps in the link first. try to open internet browser then copy and paste the link to the URL:

Try to update the driver of your video card since the major concern is display.

Please try to connect the dazzle at the back USB ports of the computer.

Try to disable your internet connections, antivirus and firewall connection to isolate the case.

You can try also this steps to isolate the case,


a. Antivirus, antispam, antispyware constantly scan your harddrives and can slow down the processor a lot during render or burning.Disabling these improves the system speed and efficiency radically.

b. Firewalls constantly turned on when internet is active can slow Studio because it uses MySQL server file in windows and is an important file for Studio 11. If both programs are running at the same time, they rob one another of valuable resources thus depriving each of successful operation.

c.When internet is active, Windows is constantly updating itself via automatic updates. And as we all know, downloading can slow system performance whereas automatic updates not only downloads but also installs components in the background. Thus seriously slowing system performance very much.

3. Update firmware for your DVD burner. Now this may sound ridiculous when you just bought it but it is common knowledge that when hardware is manufactured, they come with drivers that are almost relative to the manufacturing date, and these components are usually assembled into computer workstations months after or even longer.

4.Uninstall the following : Nero, Roxio or Sonic. Though Pinnacle has nothing against the companies or softwares mentioned, they do have conflicts when installed on the same computer. All the mentioned softwares have almost the exact programming language that Studio's burning engine has and if you have all of them installed, conflicts arise due to the fact that the computer gets confused as to which program is which, in turn the computer recognizes the command as coming from only one software and thus limits it's capabilities and processes.

check the dazzle website and download the firmware. should fix your problem.

i think your tv tuner's driver has a conflict with windows vista, try to install it at different computer with a lower version of windows, if the problem still exist maybe your tv tuner's chip is defective.
