Hi, this is doing my head in and i suspect i'm coming to a dead end here. I've put together a fairly basic setup as a HTPC at the moment,
P4 2.4
1GB
Radeon 9200 (this is actually not the problem though)
Leadtek 2000 H
XP Mce 2005 rollup 2 sp3...
The problem is that using plain XP pro (which I had before) I have no problems running the winfast pvr2 software, the card has all the latest drivers etc, all is well. But i'm not satisfied with the reliability of the software and have been experimenting to get the thing running on MCE 05, which I managed to buy a copy of. Ironically, the thing I thought would solve my problem is doing my head in! In MCE it just tells me that
"the tuner hardware is either malfunctioning or not installed..."
I have tried Winfast PVR2 in MCE - runs but no mce
tried drivers + no PVR2
tried broadstars thread;
Get Most Cards To Work In Mce
This was a clean install, and have installed and re-formatted it 3 times now.
I got nothing. :/
Could someone just tell me it won't work so i can be put out of my misery. I don't want vista, probably
not the best system for it
Since i've paid for it, (begrudgingly too) I just want it to go!?!
