== When it says "SECURITY KEY NOT FOUND" what it really means is... ==When PICO 2000 says:<SECURITY KEY NOT FOUND>What it is REALLY saying is:<I CAN'T SEE THE CAPTURE CARD>So I am not going to run. Might seem simple to most, but it perplexedme for ages. Therefore, the answer is to:1. Tediously disable EVERYTHING non-essential in the PC2. Get the PICO card to work (which it did when everything else wasdisabled)3. Then start adding devices one after the other until the PICO cardstops working (Security Key Not Found etc., etc.)That last device you added is the one causing the trouble in the firstplace. In my case an integrated INTEL NETWORK device on themotherboard. I disabled it in BIOS; got the PICO to work and thenadded a cheap PCI network card, which got me back online withoutupsetting the PICO.Yet prior to discovering this problem, Windows XP Pro reportedeverything hunky dory. No yellow exclamation marks or red crosses.Even now I cannot understand how this INTEL NETWORK device wasbuggering things up because it was not sharing IRQ, I/O or memoryaddress with the PICO. Oh well....Another Wndows mystery unsolved.TIPS FOR ISTALLING AND RUINNING PICO 2000 VER. 1.8 WITH THE UCC44-PORT CAPTURE CARD FROM GAMMAGRAPHX INC. (WINXP PRO ROUTINE).1. Put card in PCI slot2. Restart the machine3. Install drivers (Star Imavision Video/Audio capture)4. Install PICO 2000 software.5. Reboot the machine6. Make sure you have FULL sharing enabled on file: c:\DSR-Video\OTHER POINTS 1. The company that sold me this kit said I mustn't load the driversbecause, if I did, the card wouldn't work. This is not true. The UCC4card works with or without the drivers in Windows XP Pro. Without thedrivers it seems to prefer IRQs 10 or 12 where it sits as <multimediaaudio and video devices>. 'Course if you don't load the drivers, WINXPPro keeps prompting you for them each time you reboot. So if you don'twant the drivers you have to keep cancelling out the Add New HardwareWizard. A pain in the ass really.2. There's a very clever bloke who has kindly supplied WDM drivers andother utlitites for this card which allow it to work with any WDMcompatible Windows capture program (I tried them with Windows MovieMaker and Ulead MSPRO 7 Video Capture and they worked fine and you caneven capture directly to MPEG 2 with Ulead using the right CODEC).Those drivers and some other stuff can be had here:http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/download.htmlThese are Brooktree drivers which work with the UCC4 even though itsays Connexant on the capture chip. Believe me. The Brooktree driverswork great. Meanwhile, BTSPy (also at the above URL) allows you tocustomise the card when installing the Brooktree Drivers. This allowsany Windows program to access all four ports on the card (but so far Ihave not found a program that allows viewing them all at the sametime). However, you can capture from up to four cameras individuallyby selecting the appropriate input. But no Quadding or multiplexingwithout the right software.Nevertheless, BTSpy required that your UCC4 is working with PICO 2000(or other multiplex software) before it can spy out your card'scapabilities. So, in case your card isn't working, here's what BTSPyreported for my card (when I tested it with the DICO software, which IDID manage to get to work).************************************************### BtSpy Report ###General information:Name:ucc4 ver. 2.0Chip: Bt878 , Rev: 0x00Subsystem: 0x00000000Vendor: Gammagraphx, Inc.Values to MUTE audio:Mute_GPOE : 0x00f000Mute_GPDATA: 0x000000Has TV Tuner: NoNumber of Composite Ins: 4Composite in #1Composite1_Mux : 2Composite1_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite1_GPDATA: 0x000000Composite in #2Composite2_Mux : 3Composite2_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite2_GPDATA: 0x000000Composite in #3Composite3_Mux : 1Composite3_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite3_GPDATA: 0x000000Composite in #4Composite4_Mux : 0Composite4_GPOE : 0x00f000Composite4_GPDATA: 0x000000Has SVideo: NoHas Radio: NoAdd here all the comments you want!If your card can decode Stereo TV , andyour card does NOT use one of the followingchips, you will have to "peek" the rightGPDATA and GPOE values to enable Stereo andSAP audio.

In these you will beable to access each port on the card and capture from each oneidividually (but NOT all four at the same time, as you can with PICO2000).
