I finally got it working. I realized that the company which built the
system provided me with a restore disk, but I never thought about
checking it out if it is is a self restoring image, or an install CD
which was preconfigured. So I popped it in the drive, and sure enough,
it's a preconfigured XP Pro install cd, so I pulled the drivers from the
$OEM$ directory, and now it's working. Device manager shows the card
being a Hauppauge 88x Tuner, some of the ini files mention "Roslyn", so
eventho I ordered a PVR-250MCE card from this company, it doesn't work
with any of the Hauppauge PVR-250MCE drivers. Can anyone confirm what
card the 88x tuner is (and more info about the Roslyn chipset would be
appreciated as well)? Thanks!
