PVR350 owner that gets system lockup?

[DGK]

I just installed the 22292 drivers and came across an interesting problem. After deleting everything in the 'add or remove programs' and running hwclear I rebooted. When the 'found new hardware' window came up it wouldnt let me install the drivers. I finally figured out that it was naming the item it was looking for the drivers as 'unknown'. I cancelled that window and I did another reboot and this time when the window came up saying windows found a new item it needed to install windows for it was correctly named. I was then able to install the drivers

I have never had something like that happen before but it seems to be running fine now

From the Hauppauge site: "After Windows has loaded the base driver, run the PVR250_22_22292.exe driver updater."

Sorry, I missed that last step.  Now I was able to install the drivers, but I can't get my remote to work anymore.  I tried installing the new IR program/drivers from Hauppauge's website (ir32_245_22267.exe), but it still didn't work.  I tried installing the older software (ir32_235_2105.exe), and that didn't work either.  I can start GB-PVR.exe, and the main menu comes up, but when I try to move around in the menu using the remote, nothing happens.  I can navigate the menu using the keyboard, though.  IR.exe is running in the system tray.  Here's the steps I took:

1) Ran HWclear
2) rebooted
3) installed new drivers
4) ran pvr250_22_22292.exe, wintv2k_46_22278.exe, sched109_22092.exe, hcwsmd04_21154.exe, and ir32_235_2105.exe.
5) rebooted
6) started GB-PVR, and couldn't navigate the menus.

If I return to a previous restore point in Windows XP Home before I installed the drivers, the remote works. Weird. Any suggestions?

Reinstalling the Hauppauge software overwrites the GB-PVR settings in irremote.ini. You can add the following back into the file, and restart ir.exe:

Hi Guys

Just wanted to say that I have a pvr350 AMD 1200 and have been using GB-PVR for 2 days it rocks! Still setting everything up right now.

Anyways I had the lockup problems too, only during live tv. I have all the latest drivers installed:
ir32_245_22267.exe
wintv2k_46_22278.exe
pvr250_22_22292.exe
pvr250_22_inf.zip

Anyways, it seems the overlay fix has worked for me.
Go to the configuration tool

Playback tab
Selected the Overlay Manager

And that seemed to fix the problem.

By the way I can't seem to register for an account on this forum, it says successful but then I can't login.... any ideas?

Cheers

Bongo:
I had the same problem, I tried with several different nicks and finally got one that stuck

I just tried Overlay Manager and it was no help for me. My system locked up on the first attempt to select a channel.
