Bruce, the Hauppauge tech sent me the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=169757bb-3a50-4d8d-99bd-f24c7f1d7855&DisplayLang=en

I downloaded and isntalled it, then tried the Hauppauge card again and still
receive the same error message.

Do you think we should return them for refunds, or hold on to them and wait
for a fix?
