I was transfering some of my stuff from my Old Tower to this Dell and I cant find the driver disc for one of the things.

My Video Capture Card, I cant find the drivers on line. Alls I know is that its a Mini PCTV kind.

I have googled for the past 2 hours and didn't find a thing.

I need help.

Did you try looking in the device manager of your old machine to find out more about the card?

My old tower wont turn on, thats why i bought this one instead of a windows 200 disc.

Is there a program that can detect the drivers I need for it and install them automatically?

Unless you have Windows Update, no.

Why don't you open the PC up and look at the hardware?

The chip on it says Conextant Video Decoder

Edit: Thanks to my easy open computer (now screws, Press buttons and lift to open it) I found the brand

Pinnacle Systems GmbH Studio PCTV

www.drivers.com has saved me a bajillion times in the past 11 years or so. It's been heavilly commercialized over the years, just like all of the other old school heavy hitter sites but you still might be able to find something good on there.
