Tvcenter Pro Activation Key Software Won't Work For Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick?!?

Software won't work for Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick?!? - tvcenter pro activation key

I bought the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick are not watching TV to be used (Part # 230100090) primarily for video recordings (on my laptop) ... but also the transfer video from external devices (such as photographic film and VHS tapes) ... But I can not the software (Pinnacle TVCenter Pro) on my laptop (a Toshiba Portege work later - Windows XP SP2, Pentium III 1.33 GHz, 496 MB RAM).

I need a video capture software with the USB capture) device compatible and allow me to both video recordings and snapshots (sorter.

I tried WinAVI ... During the work with the device ... When you start recording the video is only a picture on the screen every 10-30 seconds or less. Adopted in other words, it's like watching conditions. And it will only get the pictures if the video does not store an image of the video that you are, unless you save (?!). And if he captures the images are horizontally failed with his head downward. So you have to solve (in Photoshop) to make it oriented correctly.

Any suggestions - 1) how to work the Pinnacle software?

Solution, or 2) a software tuner or capture a better job with this material on my laptop?

Thank you!
