NVIDIA does not suupply the Decoder free with a graphics card or graphics
card drivers since it may not be required They do supply it for free with a
NVIDIA TV tuner card since then it is of course required.

I ran the MS utility which showed that there was no decoder compatible
with
MCE. Shouldn't it be in the nVidia 6600 driver? Then I downloaded nVidia
PureVideo decoder and it works fine.

I have never heard of a Toshiba type W tuner card. Are you sure it is is
MCE compatible and that if it is that you have the MCE drivers for it
installed and not the normal Winsdows XP drivers? I ask this as the
mesage
you are seing is usually cause by a problem with the dirvers or the TV
tuner/video capture card or the DVE decoder installed then with a
problem
with the Graphics card and its drivers that are installed.

I had a problem with my Toshiba Quosmio G15-AV501. I sent it in under
the
warranty and they said there was a video problem and replaced the
motherboard.
Media center works fine on video and plays DVDs but when I try to use
live
TV I get an error message " Files needed to display video are not
installed
or not working. Please restart Media Center or restart your computer"
I
have
a nVidia GeForce Go 6600 graphics card with the latest drivers from
Toshiba.
TV tuner card is Toshiba type W with latest drivers.

Any ideas on what to try next?
