cant get gbpvr to load

[acrazyfool]

I recently have taken an older pc that was just sitting there and finally tried to make a dvr out of it. I reformatted with Xp(sp2) and have installed the .net framework 2.0. Then to make sure my system was ready I tried to run the file on the downloads page that is to udate .net and MS runtime. but all it did was have a loading screen with C++ in the title bar and quickly go away. Any way I just went to assume that I was set anyway.

I installed gbpvr and immediatly afterward I was in the config util and it seemed to work fine. After that whenever i try to run it all i see is the splash screen and then it closes. Everyonce in a while gbpvr will load and give me the icon in taskbar. from there i can open the recording status and config util just fine. but if i try to open pvrx2 i get .net exception. I can run the tuner util and it will work fine.

There was one time I got it to load but there obviously were no channels loaded yet. so as instructed i clicked the update EPG button. all that did was make the cursor have the hourglass for a few seconds. Since ive never done it before i dont know if that is all it is or if i get a confirmation screen.

I have tried to do a reinstall and dont want to try a reformat considering its a fresh install. Thanks for any help.

there really isnt any instructions on that link. only thing that it says is to try make sure .net 2.0 and MS runtime is installed by using the file.

maybe i'm missing something there then.

no it was just a starting point
can you list the specs and sub will want the log files so post them it may speed things up as to what the problem is

i fixed the problem. I reinstalled drivers and .net/runtime and it looks to be working now. now im just having troubles with EPG.


Thanks though.
