All of a sudden, GB-PVR doesn't work

[rlbond]

I don't exactly know what happened. All the sudden, when my PC boots, I get the windows error message that GBPVRrecordingservice and GBPVRTray have crashed. I try to start them manually, same thing. Config and PVRX2 do the same. I tried system restore. I tried uninstall, delete folder, reinstall. None of it works.

None of the programs even leave a log file. I'm going crazy! Does anyone have any idea what I should do, short of reinstall windows?

Running on Windows XP Pro, Hauppage PVR-500. Everything was fine last night.

What errors are listed in the Windows Event Viewer.

[rlbond]

"The GB-PVR Recording Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."

and

"Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the GB-PVR Recording Service service to connect.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."

Both under SERVICE CONTROL MANAGER, both with 2 copies.

Nothing really useful there.

Do files get created in the C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\logs directory?

[rlbond]

No, nothing at all. Not for config.exe, not for gbpvr.exe, not for pvrx2.exe, not for the recording service or tray.

Sorry, I dont know then. I dont have much to go on.

No, nothing at all. Not for config.exe, not for gbpvr.exe, not for pvrx2.exe, not for the recording service or tray.

Can the capture card have something to do with this?

Might try running a scan disk. You may have corrupted or cross linked files. Happens occasionally.

Save your config, database, recordings dump, and any different dongle version files (This last one may just be me, I have about 10). Uninstall gbpvr, delete the directory, reinstall. If GBPVR starts copy your old config file over the new one and restart.

If this doesn't work start looking at the hardware

maybe try a repair install of .NET?
