If you own a Adaptec Gamebridge AV 1400 or 1410, You may be wondering if this works on Windows
Vista. Do a search on the internet and you will see many people have tried, but cannot get the installation CD to recognize the device and install the drivers. Here is the correct procedure for Vista:
1. Keep your Adaptec Gamebridge unit unplugged from the USB Port.
2. Insert the CD. When a box comes up, click on the option that allows you to browse the contents of the disc.
3. Double Click on the Software Folder.
4. Right click on InstallGB. Select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Make sure you run this program for Windows XP SP2 Mode, and Select Run as Administrator. Click on OK.
5. Double Click the Intervideo Folder. Find Setup.exe Repeat step 4 on this file.
6. Once you are done, Go back one, and double click on Install GB.
7. When it tells you to plug in the device, do it. On the install device wizard, click on automatically install software. If you get a dialog box about a digital signature (usually with a red background) , Click on install anyway. Note, this will be repeated one more time.
8. When this is finished, Intervideo Home Theater will launch the installation as normal.
9. Restart your computer when you are asked to, and it now will work.
PLEASE NOTE: There are minor issues with Gamebridge on Vista 1. The program switches the color scheme to Vista Basic. 2. The audio will sound kinda funny , like going from low to high pitched (fluxuating) This can be worked around if you go into the ask manager and set the CPU process for above normal. Thats It! Have fun playing video games!
