First off, let me say that GBPVR is a great piece of software, and Sub has helped me out a couple of times, and his response times are lightning. I've never seen a developer like Sub, a community like this one, or software like GBPVR. If only all software was this well written and supported!
OK, my mandatory (but sincerely heartfelt) fanboi statement done, on to business. Secondly, I believe this may somehow be a driver issue, because I have broken the first cardinal rule of computer maintenance -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I updated my Hauppauge drivers that were working so well, because a piece of freeware called Software Informer said there was an update, and because I'm always looking for the best out of my PVR, like a fool, I updated, and have regretted it since. However, it seems nothing I can do, including rolling back the old drivers, seems to have gotten be back to where I was before this hassle.
Running Windows XP Home SP3 on a Pentuim 4 3.2 GHz box, with 2GB ram. I've updated to the latest 1.4.7, and after some difficulty with the new vcredist and a number of attempted installations (with roll-backs) it looked like it did update correctly, and I had been running it for a couple of weeks with good success. Then came my idiot update, and now what I am seeing happening is this:
- PVRX2 (was) loading in my second monitor screen fine, and I could access the menus (using Community Skin, looks good!) just fine, but when I would go to start playing a video, I would get a blank screen and just audio for a few seconds, then my second screen would flash, and act as though the monitor/adapter had disconnected from my computer (with effort I could get it to respond again, after shutting PVRX2 down).
- Now, PVRX2 is loading, but not showing on any monitor, so I have to force it down with Task Manager. I notice two PVRX2's in the list, and when I shut both of them down, one of them automatically re-spawns!?!:eek: This is getting weirder and weirder.
I have attached my recent (today) logs to this message - I am hoping that my rambling isn't confusing things.
Thanking you so much in advance,
Daniel Bragg
