I have to XP computer, both have an Hauppauge PVR-250
On one computer I have to reinstall the drivers every 2-3rd boot.
Unless I delete the files in C:\windows\prefetch (made a bat file to
do this when I log off).
The board that works is an P4C800- Deluxe.
The bad one is an A78NX-E-Deluxe
The card has its one irq on each machine. And have
installed the latest drivers. And tried other PCI slots
The only difference I can see is when I view resources by type and look at
memory the PVR listed and a PCI to PCI bridge
have the same memory addresses. Every other device listed
including other PCI to PCI bridges have separate memory addresses. Is this
normal, a driver issue or is my problem
elsewhere?

Hello,
Some of Hauppauge's TV cards are very "problematic" with many(most?) VIA
chipset based motherboards.
Some are quite with NVIDIA based ones.
Tried the same exact model with 2 VIAes (333 and 400) and a Asus nForce2
and never could get it to function full-tilt with all default functions on.
Had to use the lowest of 3 settings which only gave very jittery, low-res
and 1/4 screen output >WHEN it did accept to even do that much<.

Gave up and bought an MSI TVanywhere card.

The problems are referenced right at their Hauppauge.com site somewhere in
the FAQ's section of Help/Support. Well hidden I'd say!
Nowhere is it mentionned on the "affected" products retail boxes.
?FAIR: I'll let you be the judge after you visited the said site!
No way to get the $$$ back.

Thanks for the response.
I did a search and most of the people that had a problem
similar to mine had VIA or Nforce2 mother boards.
So I guess it's down to a new TV card or mother board
with an Intel chipset. The end of this summer I was thinking of getting a
AMD 64bit CPU and Nforce3 MB but now I'm
not sure if my PVR-250 would work with it or not.
