Default Asus A33 DAV

Hi everybody,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I have the same unit and just
recently upgraded to Windows 7 from original Vista. I don't use video
over HDMI, however I have a question regarding getting to work all the
other things in Windows 7.

Did you by any chance gotten to work this small LCD screen under
Windows 7? I got to the point that the driver for ASeries device (TFT
display) has been loaded in Win7, however couldn't install software
responsible for controling this display. I copied the installed version
from computer running Vista, restored all the entries in the registry
and can see (in Task Manager) that everything gets loaded, however the
small LCD screen displays "ASUS" only - there is nothing else there. I
was trying to install this software in the compatibility mode (Vista
SP2), however it didn't work - the installation program freezes.

Please let me know how to get this screen working under Win7.

Also, what is the most powerful CPU we can put into this box? I'm
running AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+, and was wondering if could put
6000+.

Thanks in advance,
Jacek

Hi,

I just picked up an ASUS A33 DAV center on Ebay. It is a compact unit
with a built it in sound system and two tuner cards. It isn't all
that well powered for HD, but to be honest, I'm not all that concerned
with that. Mainly I want it for it's DVR capabilities and SD is fine
for me, really.

Here's the thing, it shipped with no OS. It has HDMI and S-Video
outputs, but no SVGA out. I'm not sure how I'm going to get this
thing built. Plugging in the S-Video into my TV gives me no signal,
and I'm guessing HDMI will do the same. It seems like the system
needs an OS before it will know how to run those other outputs...but I
can't get the OS going until I can see what the thing is doing.

If anyone has any experience working with these, or any insight, I'd
greatly appreciate it!

Thanks so much in advance.
