vrs 9 Failed to use direct show video engine no audio hardwa

Post by amcgraw »

no audio hardware is available or the hardware is not responding.

I purchased a new HP desktop computer with Vista 2048 mb, 400 gb harddrive.

When I loaded my Ulead video editor 9 everytime I try to look at the project this notice comes up. Audio is working on the computer. I tried to load using the program combatablity but it didn't change the issue. Is there something else I can try? Cant really afford to upgrade right now.

Some members have found workarounds for other Ulead programs. Here is a method used to get MediaStudio Pro to work on Vista. You might try employing this method to see if you can get VS9 to work. If so please post back your results, and any alterations done, so that others may benefit..:)

If there is I don't know what it may be. VS9 uses the DSW (Direct Show for Windows), and Vista does not support this.

VS9, let alone Direct Show, is simply not compatible with Vista. There was a compatibility patch for VS10 which seemed to work for most people. But the simple fact of the matter is you can only use VS9 on an XP computer or less... :cry:
