Used to be a German site with many drivers for Pinnacle products
(DC20, DC10, DC30....) for recent OSs. Their DC20 driver for 2K/XP
actually works very well. (DC20 was a predecessor of the DC10/
DC30...a MJPEG capture card...designed for Win 3.11.) Google is your
friend.

BTW: It is likely your are going to have to install Studio no matter
what you do...Pinnacle cards were famous requiring some proprietary
software or software version; Install it...that may completely solve
your driver problems and you MAY be able to use the card with your
favorite capture/edit program. Even if you can't...use Studio to
capture only, then edit with what you like.
