First-Time User: EPG Won't Update

[sub]

I was having this exact same problem today.

Here's where I am coming from:

- Did a fresh Windows install on my old system (AthlonXP 2800+, 1GBRAM, lots of disk, Happauge PVR250) using Win2k Pro CD (yah, I know..I'm a dinosaur).

- Right after the fresh Windows install, I did the Win2k SP4 and all the MS crticial updates, etc. It took a couple hours, but the system is a lot "perkier" than it used to be.

- I reloaded all the latest drivers for all my hardware, including the Hauppauge PVR250. Everything seemed to be working fine.

- I've been running GB-PVR v096.12 (for a year now?) on the old Win2k install and I've been very satisfied (THANKS SUB!). But I felt it was time to move up. And, for some reason, I was not getting MS updates any longer and that worried me. This re-install seems to have fixed it.

- Now I was all ready for V09912. First, I installed the MDAC 2.6 and .NET runtime 2.0 (as required). The install went OK, until I hit the Config screen for the recording source. Doing the EPG update, I got a very similar error to what has been reported in this thread.

- Double checked my Zap2It subscription and account. Everything seems fine. Even created a new account from scratch, just to make sure that wasn't a problem.

- Zipped config.log is attached.

FYI - Just as a test, I was able to get v096.12 running just fine on this new install.

Thanks for any help!

Can you check how big the gbpvr.mdb file is in your GB-PVR directory? There is some error relating to the old MDB access database in your logs.

On my deal, I just couldn't get out of my server. I did everything I can imagine. Well I can see the WinTV32 out of the hauppauge. Is that my problem? Do I have to pick just one. Do I delete everything hauppauge gave me and install GBPVR. If that's the deal, I'll wait till someone tells me.
Someone tell me what do I have to do to get out of my server?
I turned off my antivirus and I lessen the Privacy. Now what?

Maybe the Windows Firewall is getting in the way?

The gbpvr.mdb is 8.3 MB.

You know, it was the firewall. I have two of them. I forgot to turn that one off. It's a AVG one. Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not really sure.

Maybe run ChangeDatabase.exe to convert to using SQLite like most other people these days.
