Nutty GBPVR behaviour

[BigMoose]

Mine gbpvr installation has started to do exactly this except I'm not using the Hauppauge card that's in there (trying to get it stable with just configuring the DVB-S card although I do have a PVR350 in the box). All I've done since before this happened was upgrade the ATI driver (HD2600XT AGP) and also swap the main memory over with another machine so I now have 1G. It was fine for the evening after I did this, but from the next day I get exactly what's described here. I cant watch anything and it's not using timeshift mode. Looks like I'll need to reinstall??

Woah., this has fixed my issue too, thought i'd try this before reinstalling, weird !!!
I can switch back & forth, crash with original mpeg2data.ax and Psisdecd.dll, fine with the MCE2005 ones.
I'm running XP pro SP2 on my PVR setup. And I don't understand why it's just started happening again after months of being ok. And why a reinstall fixed it before.. so many questions.

Still, Daniel P, thanks for your help.

DanielP you're a genius! That's also fixed my crashing issue! How the hell did you narrow it down to a single dll and ax file?! Thanks for all your hardward and for posting the fix!

Well, my wife was off sick when the pigging thing started going wrong, so I had to sort it out quickly before the "wife and kid friendliness" of my new GBPVR system went down the pan forever.:eek:

If you look on the Hauppauge forums, there are loads of complaints about this issue- after lots of digging around, I found those two files. I didn't package them or anything, someone put the package in one of the posts on the Hauppauge Finland forum.

Glad it helped, because I was reading about people doing fresh re-installs and the problem not going away. Probably saved a pointless rebuild and returning the card for a replacement (which may not have worked either!).

I used to work in IT support, so I tend to hold on a little longer than most before reinstalling the OS.

I'm just about to try these as I have just started getting the crashes since install DVB-S in the test machine!.

Yes, it fixed my crashing problem as well on my test server. Machine was XP SP2 and a videomate dvb-s card along with a nova-t-500 (but not configured).

I was holding off putting the dvb-s card in the main server because of this.

thanks for the info

It has also fixed my main server which used to occasionally crash in the same way when doing a channel scan.

Daniel - might be worth a PM to sub to suggest a possible addition to one of the survival guides - although it isn't a release specific problem, but seems to have appeared out of the blue for a number of folk.
