Re: Stuttering problem watching live TV

If the recorded shows were recorded before you installed the updated AMD
drivers they will stutter but shows recorded after you installed the new AMD
drivers should not.

Thanks a ton. I should have caught that, it was pretty obvious once you
pointed it out. So now after reinstalling everything....It's better.
Live
TV works fine, where before it stuttered. But recorded shows still
stutter
and lock up in less than 5 minutes using media center. Using Media Player
they work fine. I've grabbed all the latest drivers and windows updates.
The only thing that I could update is the NVIDIA software DVD decoder.
I'm
still using the 30 day free trial version which looks to be about a month
behind the one you buy. I'm just wondering if there is a better decoder
to
buy? Or do I need a different video card to work with MCE?

Video Card = ASUS EAX700-XL ATI driver 10/14/2005 ver 8.183.0.0
tuner card = Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 MCE driver 12/14/2005 ver
2.0.35.23348
cpu = Athlon 64 X2 3800+ driver 1.2.2.2
NVIDIA nForce4 System Driver ver 666
NVIDIA software dvd decoder, 30 day free trial
motherboard = MSI K8N Neo 4

plus I shutoff the cpu cool stuff

Potentially.

Sounds like you have flash card readers that got assigned c:\

I know my brother had a lot of trouble with programs expecting to be
installed on the c:\ (when he hit this same issue). He got so fed up
that
he reinstalled fresh. If you choose to do this, disconnect the flash
card
reader first, before reinstalling. That way, it should work as intended.

I have an dual core 3800 and the driver 1.2.2.0 dated 10/26/2004. I
downloaded from amd's site version 1.2.2.2 and tried to install it. I
receive the error "The file c:\boot.ini could not be opened" then the
install
continues and I select reboot at the end. After rebooting the driver
installed is still 1.2.2.0 and my machine still stutters and eventually
locks
up both on live tv and while playing recorded material.

Does this have to do with the stuff Xp is doing with installing
programs
on
a "phantom" h: drive? What should I try.

Thanks
