This article was previously published under Q211185 SYMPTOMS
The Add/Remove Hardware Wizard detects the Miro DC30 as a Windows Multimedia video controller. According to the driver manufacturer's Readme file, the DC30 does not use Microsoft Video for Windows and should not be recognized as a video device.
CAUSE
Although the adapter does not use Video for Windows for capture, it is enumerated as a Plug and Play device and uses the MMClass installer. It does not place entries in the registry or System.ini file ([drivers32] msvideo=) to identify it as a Video for Windows capture device, so Video for Windows-based programs are not aware of its presence.
RESOLUTION
Under these circumstances, the Miro DC30 is still operational. The adapter is just detected incorrectly.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
