I can't get EPG working again!

Hope this is the correct forum.

I first downloaded EPG123 about a year ago and got it working. Loved it. I had to drop my TV service for a few, as the processor fan on the PC that my Media center runs on gave out. Have that fixed and machine is better! But when I brought the machine back.. the EPG wouldn't update or work properly.
Machine info:
Windows 7 nothing other than WMC on pc. Have 6 tuner Ceton and SD quatro for antenna. Cable service with Spectrum.

I've only been able to get this working the 1 time after many attempts about a year ago. LOVED this guide.. But I have gone through the setup steps repeatedly, updated the EPG software, and have even uninstalled/reinstalled media center.
but not avail. Currently I do have a guide but it's the generic Rovi guide.. However, the Green EPG logo does appear on the main WMC screen with current information. All of the lineups are correct. I've done a repair, all options..
Am well versed in Windows and am IT guy by trade... Would like to get this working.. Any help appreciated!!

Have you renewed your Schedules Direct subscription?

Have you updated epg123?

This tells me EPG123 is doing everything you've told it to, to include importing the guide. I believe your issue is probably that you haven't mapped the stations to the channels. I would suggest doing the EPG123 clean start setup again to remove Rovi, but make sure you enable the option to "Automatically match stations to channels" before you Save & Execute. Another option would be to click the Match by: [# Number] button in the client GUI for each of your lineups on the right-side pulldown (refer to page 12 of the guide).
