I always prefer a fresh start when there are unknown variables that 
could be the cause of the problem.

If you wipe it clean, and start fresh, you will have computer that is in 
a known state (or at least as close to known as you can get).

In addition, you probablu don't have any data to worry about losing yet. 
That makes it an even easier choice IMO.

I saw a couple of posts on the Internet earlier today that the people 
who were able to get this device working, installed the avermedia 
drivers before plugging it into the usb port.
