Swapped motherboard - tuners stopped working

[brantmacga]

i replaced my mobo to get a higher memory capacity; now two HVR-1600's stopped working. They show up in device manager.

when i try to tune a channel, i get the 'viewing conflict'; no tuner available to satisfy this request.

i re-installed drivers from hauppauge's website, still no luck.

no other hardware was changed other than mobo and ram.


any suggestions?

Can you define 'replaced my mobo'.
I presume you reinstalled Windows from scratch?

[brantmacga]

Nope. Just replaced the board and RAM, plugged everything back in. Everything is working fine except these tuners.

Format reinstall FTW

Yeah it's best to start again with a motherboard change. There are ways to clear the HAL and force a rebuild of hardware but it's never guaranteed to be 100% stable.

Have you tried re-running the tuner setup wizard in WMC?

that was the trick.


thanks!

Sorry I assumed you had already done that. It is still advisable to install a fresh windows for any motherboard (of a different type) replacement.

thanks for the advice; i'm going to let this thing ride as-is since everything is now working properly. last thing i want to do is burn a weekend reinstalling programs, trying to set everything back exactly as it was.

i just needed more ram for my 775 system; ddr2 is insanely expensive compared to ddr3; it was $70 cheaper to get a new motherboard and ddr3 ram than to get ddr2 of the same capacity.
