When I click on the GBPVR icon I get a window that says:

I am definitely a newbie with the pvr thing and it's been a while since I was up on components so I apologize in advance.
I have converted an old desktop into a dedicated only PVR machine. This is what I have so far:
- Athlon 1.1 Ghz
- ECS Motherboard (Socket 462)
- 384 mb RAM (256 and 128) 2 slots available
- Dead DVD Rom Drive
- ATI All in Wonder Card 128 Pro (wasn't designed for W2K or XP)
- Hauppauge 150
- Running Windows XP
- 40 GB Hard Drive
- Connecting to old analog TV
- Directv Satellite (D10 Box used beta settings from Hauppauge web site)
- Connecting to TV through composite
- Soundblaster Live! Card
- PCI Firewire Card (had the original ipod running on a pc)
- 1.1 USB (deadly slow)
- Intervideo Decoder
I am surprised that I am getting relatively good quality. However, I am mostly playing stuff on my laptop when traveling. TV is a lot better now that I don't have to see commercials and can watch what I want when i want.
I have turned everything off that I wasn't using: parallel port, serial ports, etc made sure there are very few processes running in the background. I don't even run real time virus protection.
The first thing I thought would improve things would be to get a better video card than the ATI All in Wonder. I was thinking of spending 40 - 50. So far I have my eyes on a NVidia 6200 or 5200; or ATI Radeo 9550. I am not a gamer but can see connecting to a HDTV at some point. Any thoughts?
The next thing I need is another hard drive. I wondered if an external firewire hard drive would be okay? Would the system be able to record to this okay? Or am I alot better off with the normal internal IDE drive?
If I try to add a file to the list, it say : The size is not gigabytes.
If I try to burn the list, nothing happen.
After reading a little bit the BAT file, it seem that showburner can't add the file at all.
Anyclue?
I am using Windows XP Media Center 2005
Windows in on drive D
I am using the french canadian settings (regional settings) I use the comma instead of the point (I don't know at all if it can be a problem with this plugin, but it was with Ewa, so I prefer to tell this).
Sorry if this is in the forums somewhere - I sure couldn't find it.
I keep having Web Admin lose it's colors. I first login and everything looks fine, then I made a change and *bam*, all black and white with simplified page layout.
Save some *.mov, *.WMA etc... files in a directory, now thats the easy bit, how do i play them on the MVP?
Ive looked at XDVD but i dont think this will do it, however is close... Has anyone else managed this so far?
Its like something will need to look at the file format then play it back and re-encode it, i have a feeling the re-encoding is easy as XDVD does that but is there something that can look at a file stream and work out what it is to play it?
I can no longer add any more recording types of
"Record Season (all in this daily timeslot, this channel)".
Can I somehow change this setting myself, or is this something that needs to be coded or changed?
While I'm asking, does "Record Season (all episodes on this channel)" record every instance of a program with THAT particular name? Ex X-files shows three times a day on one channel.
Firstly - thanks to the developers of GBPVR - truly excellent bit of software. Secondly, I'm getting CRC errors when trying to extract the patch here. Tried it with bit WinZip and Winrar - fails to extract on both. Is the file corrupt, or is it just me?
