When I tried to capture my VACR tape with Movi Maker using a Hauggauge
Wintv88x card (which movie maker can perfectly detect) I get the following
error:

"The video device is currently in use. Close any other device that is using
the application and try again".

I also followed the recommendation in the movie maker trouble shooting
section (to disable Media Center receiver agent) but it does not work.

Would appreciate your kind help !

If your main goal is to make DVD copies
of your VHS home movies...you don't need
a computer. A DVD Recorder like the
following example may be worth a look.

Here's one example:

Maybe the following links will give you an
idea of what's involved.
