No Windows 95 Support for Zoomed Video Devices

 Last reviewed: December 12, 1996
Article ID: Q159348
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95
  • Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2

SYMPTOMS

When you use a Zoomed Video (ZV) PC Card with Windows 95, the card is not recognized correctly.

In Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2 (OSR2), ZV PC Card devices are recognized, but are not configured. The driver is loaded, but is never asked to start. Device Manager indicates that the device has a problem with a Code 7.

CAUSE

Windows 95 and OSR2 do not include support for Zoomed Video.

Most of the support to enable a ZV PC Card was added to OSR2, but was not enabled when OSR2 was shipped. As a result, the logical configurations for these devices get filtered out and the device cannot be started.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information on the availability of this fix.
