how to find drivers for a mystery video card?
I have this multimedia card to capture video... I don't know the brand since it came out of an old computer that broke. I put it in the new computer, but it can't find the drivers... how do I "see" it on the new computer so I can figure out what it is and where to get the drivers? (old drivers are on the dead PC).

What OS are you running on the new machine? How about the old box?

Pull the card and have a look at it to see if you can locate the FCC-ID number.
If you can find that, go to this FCC Search Engine Site and see what you can come up with. I've used this site in the past on some rather obsure cards. While I wasn't always able to locate the information I was looking for, it did work most of the time. Randy

Find the FCC ID on the card, then run it through the FCC database here:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm My guess is that it's an ATI All in wonder. EDIT: Ya beat me to it.

I just realized that the other half of it is a desk top device labelled Dazzle. But I can't figure out which one. I'll try the FCC ID on it. I bought this from Dell, I'm on hold maybe they know what it is....

No FCC ID on it.... it came out of a Dell. I'm trying to figure it out on the support site. There was a sticker on it that said the following:
DS/N SG-08H352-69370-220-2622\C/0 SG Imprinted on the board was: J15 FAST-Dazzle dv.now AV V1.4 PN106783

Figured it out.... I googled on all that above and found the Dazzle forums. From there I found that the part on the desk is the "mojave". Downloaded the cryptic drivers from Dell. Back in business producing my track videos with 2001 era equipment.

Boot wiht an ubuntu disk or DSL or other Linux live cd. Get to a terminal prompt. type lspci and hit enter. It will dump out everything for your computer, with name/model.
