553525 2007-05-27 09:08:00 I've had AverTV software and the tuner card that came with it. It never works on XP Pro SP2 (crashes after displaying splash screen). Does not record using schedule reliably on SP1 - It took me 5 times to get it to start recording. Also when I display options - video on SP1 the program crashes. Any one have any other software that works. Prefereably without replacing the card. JaceKiwi (2561)

553527 2007-05-27 13:57:00 Basically your best bet: Switch to some alternative software that works well with your OS.

Many of the el-cheapo cards seem to bundle software thats never updated and hardly worked in the first place. I had the same issue when I had a TV-tuner card from DSE ($67 about two years back).

553528 2007-05-27 20:56:00 I had the same prob with the tuner in this .

I think its because its 1/2 zapped . (I think it was from a few yrs ago, the power here zapped my old CPU) .

Leadtek's own software wouldn't work .

Because, its install file, said it wasnt compat with WMP 11 .

But, Leadtek (the company) thought otherwise . They tested it with the same version of the program, I had, and it worked .

But no matter how hard I tried to install the software, it didn't work .

So, in the end, I tried WinDVR, it worked but wouldnt save the settings properly .

So, I installed Powercinema . And have used Powercinema since .

553529 2007-05-28 07:27:00 I've tried to install Powercinema. It say's I need to install DirectX 9. I have DirectX 9 Hotfix KB839643 installed. It then aborted. JaceKiwi (2561)
553530 2007-05-28 07:31:00 I've installed Powercinema. It say's I need to install DirectX 9. I have DirectX 9 Hotfix KB839643 installed.

But is 9.0c of DirectX installed?

NOTE: Powercinema isnt free. It's a trial until u pay for it.

553532 2007-05-28 07:47:00 I've checked in control panel - I can only find the hot fix. Also if it wasn't installed why would the hot fix install. Althiugh this is diferent, If I try and install hotfixes (Automatic updates) for Media Player 7 or 8 it says to install media player ... (i think 10). JaceKiwi (2561)
553533 2007-05-28 07:52:00 Go to start/run, type dxdiag. What version does it say here under system? Speedy Gonzales (78)
553534 2007-05-28 08:05:00 It reports DirectX 9.0 (4.09.0000.0900)
Under DirectX Files: Some are 5... some are 6...
