I built my own computer and bought Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to
out on it, but am having problems. I have a "Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 XP
(Deluxe / FM / RM)" that is a great TV Tuner and FM Radio, but Media Center
can't seem to see it as a tv tuner or fm radio. I know now that Leadtek
makes cards for OEMs that is specifically designed for Windows XP MCE and it
isn't much different. Do I have any hope of getting this to work? How can I
get it to work? Do I need to nag at Leadtek to make a driver for my card for
Win XP MCE? Is compatibility deeper than just the driver and there is
something missing that I need in the actual card (forcing me to buy a new
card)?

Thanks,
Kyle Egbert
