Your video card drivers are not compatible with Media Centre.

[steverw]

Hi, Have just installed Fushion 3.60.01 Software update. Now when I reboot straight into Media Centre (With this setting selected - "Start Media Centre when windows starts") I get a message (Your video card drivers are not compatible with Media Centre.) The system then hangs until I click OK on the message. System loads Media Centre but when I select live TV I get a message saying (Files needed to display Video are not working correctly restart Media Centre or system. Live TV does not work, I restart Media Centre & live TV works OK. If I reboot straight to XP (With this setting not selected - "Start Media Centre when windows starts") & then start Media Centre no problem.
I have uninstalled old software & drivers first many times.
Even going back to the old drivers does not change anything. I have restored the system from an orginal back-up when everything was working fine. Still same Video error message.
Has anyone had this problem?
Also i have always had slow channel changing with this card 8-10 seconds sometimes.(Divico Dual 4.) does anyone out there have this experience with this card?

The 'Video Card' message relates to the graphics output card not the fusion driver. Have you changed the card or drivers recently?

I beleive your'e right about the graphics card.
I have tried different g/cards from a different PC that have not given this error message before though with no change. The ViiV test utility sayes they are not compatible though. Does ViiV create the error message? Would removing the ViiV utility stop the error message??

steverw,

No its not the ViiV that generates the message.

Go to the videocard chip manufacturoers site presumably Nvidea or ATI and download their latest MCE compatable drivers and install them, make sure they are the MCE version.

I used to get this problem when I had an ATI card and the drivers loaded slower than media center did, so like you I got that error and then after I closed media center and opened it again everything would work fine.

I got around it by delaying the media center startup by 30 seconds after a cold boot.

This sounds exactly my problem. How do I delay MCE loading by 30 seconds?

A good result -- delaying MCE loading & giving the video card drivers time to load has fixed the problem. I used MCE Standby Tool as it also has a great feature that boots MCE straight into live TV (or any of the other options in the menu) not the resume prompt. this is the link http://www.xs4all.nl/~hveijk/mst/indexe.htm . Another good tool I was recommeded is Startup Delayer - worth a look. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/startdelay.html . Check them out if you have similar probs. Thanks to all the sent there suggestions.
