Adaptec Gamebridge - How to install on Windows Vista
It works, you just have to install it a special way.
Sunday, June 3, 2007 by LittleBearJason | Discussion: PC Hardware
If you own a Adaptec Gamebridge AV 1400 or 1410, You may be wondering if this works on Windows Vista. Do a search on the internet and you will see many people have tried, but cannot get the installation CD to recognize the device and install the drivers. Here is the correct procedure for Vista:
1. Keep your Adaptec Gamebridge unit unplugged from the USB Port.
2. Insert the CD. When a box comes up, click on the option that allows you to browse the contents of the disc.
3. Double Click on the Software Folder.
4. Right click on InstallGB. Select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Make sure you run this program for Windows XP SP2 Mode, and Select Run as Administrator. Click on OK.
5. Double Click the Intervideo Folder. Find Setup.exe Repeat step 4 on this file.
6. Once you are done, Go back one, and double click on Install GB.
7 When it tells you to plug in the device, do it. On the install device wizard, click on automatically install software. If you get a dialog box about a digital signature (usually with a red background) , Click on install anyway. Note, this will be repeated one more time.
8. When this is finished, Intervideo Home Theater will launch the installation as normal.
9. Restart your computer when you are asked to, and it now will work.
PLEASE NOTE: There are minor issues with Gamebridge on Vista
1. The program switches the color scheme to Vista Basic.
2. The audio will sound kinda funny , like going from low to high pitched (fluxuating)
This can be worked around if you go into the ask manager and set the CPU process for above normal.
Thats It! Have fun playing video games!

Hey, yea I recently bought a GameBridge (and ofc I have Vista) but I encounter a different error.
The drivers install just fine, but when I click on "Install GameBridge" on the disc menu, it tells me that no Adaptec hardware could be found (even though it's obviously found it as the drivers have been installed).
Any suggestions on what the problem is?

Mine didn't install until I chose Win98 compatability. I still got an error message, but it works.

I've followed all the directions and yet only the first "found new hardware" program runs. I get a screen that says the gamebridge 1410/1510 loader has installed and then nothing else happens. Please advise.

I have followed the directions, but I have reached an impasse.
See, at first, my gameBridge 1410 worked, but when i moved my computers, i forgot in which USB port i had it installed and, one thing leading to another, i panicked and tried to uninstall the drivers and software...
the problem is, now i can't re-install the drivers as Windows cannot find them. i am not very good with computers, so can anyone help me? i think it might have its roots in the registry and, well, I should mention that I tried using the "uninstall GB" and it doesn't work, aborting at the last second for some reason...
Thanks in advance.

This helped me in installing the software, however the home theater software shows no audio or video on anything. TV and xbox 360. I know that I have the RF cable hooked up correctly for when I scan the channels it discovers the channels and while channel surfing even the screenshots of the channels will pop up. Essentially, where the video should be I always have a black screen. Any help/ advice? I have vista home premium 32 bit.
