SUMMARY
If you install Microsoft Video for Windows 1.0 on a machine equipped with the Action Media II capture card and you run the VidCap utility that is included with Video, you may receive the following initialization error:

VidCap could not initialize the capture device. Capture driver is not installed properly.



MORE INFORMATION
Indeo (TM) Video driver is installed for software only compression and decompression when Microsoft Video for Windows is installed. No further setup is required for software only operation. If you have an Action Media II capture card in your computer, you will need to re-install the capture driver to get hardware assisted playback and to capture video with the VidCap utility included with Microsoft Video for Windows.

To install, remove, or configure a capture driver you need to use the Drivers option in the Control Panel.

For more information on installing device drivers, refer to your Windows 3.1 manual.
