I have upgraded my processor and now get error message.

"digital cable device registration application stopped working and was
closed" I cannot now use my Tuner.

If I put back in my old processor it goes away and |Tuner works. If I put in
an earlier processor I had before windows Vista Ultimate upgrade I get same
message.

I seems only the processor i upgraded Vista with works. CAn any one help.
 
I just upgraded my computer from an AMD 5200 to a 6400 and am having the
exact same problem. I found a link that said to go to the DRM folder and
delete the contents, reboot and it should work, but my DRM folder does not
have anything in it. I have also tried uninstalling my Hauppauge 1600 device
in device manager and my Nvidia display driver and letting Windows Vista
reinstall them but still get the same error. Any help on this would be
greatly appreciated. I really don't want to reinstall Vista unless I really
have to.
 
Just wanted to let you know I had a user Jolt that gave me a fix. Look under
Media Center PC in the top of this post.

Basically open up Windows Explorer and click on Organize, go to Folder and
Search options, under the View tab uncheck the Hide protected operating
system files (Recommended) box, and the Hide extensions for known file types
box, change the Hidden files and folders from Do not show hidden files and
folders to Show hidden files and folders. Do a Search under C: for DRM
folder. Rename the DRM folder from DRM to DRMbackup. It will take a little
while but it will change. Once it does try the Media Center PC TV. You may
have to go through the setup again for your channels, but mine worked. Once
done and it is working go back into Windows Explorer and check the boxes tha
you unchecked and change to Hide the files. Hope this helps you out like it
did me.

Before you nuke the OS go here and follow the detailed instruction from
Microsoft.
