    I pulled out an old Lidl SC USB grabber (IAN49045) that I had put away. The laptop W7 cannot find the driver. I've a feeling the CD that came with it is long gone . I put the IAN code into Lidl's site looking for a driver but it seems to be discontinued.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas..

    If all else fails you could try it in a Linux Virtual Machine.
    Last time I tried in Linux it was supported natively.
    Or maybe try a Live DVD first to see if it works.

    Thanks. I did. My model isn't there. I tried installing drivers from other models on that page but they just go to 75% and abort

    The only thing I have in Linux is the satellite reciever with a TB drive. It'd be great if I could plug the VCR into that but I doubt it's possible.

    No.
    The suggestion was to run a Linux session on your PC ..... either from a live DVD/USB or as a VM, and see if the device is recognised and usable when plugged in.

    EDIT:

    I dug out an old VG2000 and plugged it into a Linux PC and it was immediately recognised
    It has Article number DT32973 on it but it is not in the list linked to above, so probably pre-dates 2011 :)

    Thanks John. I've never used anything but windows. I think I'll send it to the recyclers . I can't find the sowtware disc and there are newer units available fairly cheap online .
