Steven Toth wrote the driver and has a status page here... http://www.steventoth.net/blog/products/hvr-2250/ you may want to contact him directly, keeping in mind he does this out of love and doesn't get paid for support :) (Although Hauppauge should pay him something for the amount of work he does on their products IMHO).
