RE: To All With Vista TV Tuner Card Problems

Dear NYOUNG,

I've followed your instructions and indeed I don't have any more that
message indicating that Media Center Receiver was closed due to some unknown
problem and the "Help" message stating that "Data Execution Prevention had
to close a harmful program, etc..., that I suppose be the famous ehrcrv.exe.

However, I still can't start Media Center Receiver Services, now being the
error message:
"Windows could not start the Windows....
Error 1069: the service did not start dur to a logon failure"
When I try Media Center TV live, I still receive the "No Tuner found...."
It's interesting to note that before I migrated from XP (Media Center
Edition 2005), I never had this problem.

Your help is appreciated

RE: To All With Vista TV Tuner Card Problems

Dear NYOUNG,

I followed your instructions and the problem is now solved, but not without
a final twist. Even after the changes in the Computer Mangements..., I still
got the "No TV tuner installed" in Media Center. However, I've checked with a
third party program, WinTV, and it worked fine with my TV tuners. Therefore,
I tried a final alternative in having this program working with my tuners,
while I tried to use Media Center TV. This time the error message from MC was
"... TV tuner is being used with another equipment...". Then, while still
with MC, I exited WinTV and retried MC TV, and this time I was successful.
From then on I haven't any problem with my Media Center TV.
Once again, many thanks for your help.

Regards
Jose Neves
