in first place the stuff im talking about is this one main problem is that when i plug onto my PC it shows a black screen i am trying to install directx9 onto my PC (windows vista homebasic, an intel PC BTW i have more than inoff requisites for it) and the whole software stuff is installed, my question is why do i get a black screen instead of something showing up? allow me to be more specific, i plug the Composite AV wires (RBY set) to the device, i plug it to my PC, i start the recording program and nothing happens im making sure its ON the device where the AV wires (RBY set) are being plugged, my wii in this case it has an S-Video Signal wire too, but i dunno if to make it work i need to plug it to my DVD or direct TV. finally i ahve all software installed directx9c, the driver that is compatible with my vista version, all i would need to rule out if the main software but since it runs i doubt it, im on a VIT laptop it has core 2 duo, has 2GB of ram, has 2.2GH and my video i am sure i'ts supported what is the problem? look for any one who gives a look at this please tell me if i need to more info, also do not tell me to check the manual, no,no,no, i'ts vague and is only for the software i'ts very vague about how to use the device.
