check the bios of it?

thnx

Since you have a MOBO installed tuner check for Vista drivers for it with
your MOBO manufacturer. The standard Hauppauge drivers may not work with
properly as you have found.

Hi guys, thnx for helping me out.

unfortunately, so far no results.
so far i tried to install the new drivers- no result and found out this
post;

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...2-b691fcd627bb

I did what it said but also that has no effect.
Since then i found out that what my computer is doing is that it
reinstalls
the hardware drivers from my tv tuner every time i reboot.
When starting up i get the rightdownside message that vista found new
hardware and is installing accordingly (i cant interfere or cancel that
with
via a menu)

So it seems that due to the reinstallment of my tvtuner my previous
setup
is
lost time and time again wich seems fairly reasonable to me.

So i guess the question then is how can i stop that reinstall process?
(by
the way my tv tuner is on the inbuild motherboard and so its no outside
usb
item or so)

It's "configured".

You might like to use the free AMCAP mini-app to try to lock the tuner
outside of WMC too.

Good luck and let us know if any of this helped to solve your
problem...

From searching both Hauppauge sites for 26xx, it seems that this is
the
PVR 150.

I would go for the UK site download, the US site offers much older
drivers.

P.SO.: Follow the very well written and illustrated driver install
instruction to the letter.

MOBO is your Motherboard you normally see the version of the BIOS firmware
installed on it during the Boot sequence. You can check at the Motherboard
manufacturers web site for the latest version of the BIOS and the download
required to update it.

Is this a new computer? Who is the manufacturer? Go to the computer
manufacturer's web site, look for the exact model number of your computer and
see if they have motherboard (or mainboard) drivers and/or a BIOS update for
your specific computer. IMPORTANT: If they do have Vista drivers (especially
BIOS), read and follow the instructions EXACTLY.
