right click on it's listing and then click on compatabilty mode and set it to xp and see if it will run

Abdurrahman · 05-06-2007, 01:34 PM

do you mean in the device manager or what you mean by its listing!!

dai · 05-06-2007, 01:40 PM

right click on the driver and choose properties
then click on the compatatbility tab

Abdurrahman · 05-06-2007, 02:10 PM

Hello,

When I used the driver came with the card package, it is installed correctly, but when I start to run it using included software it says "interface is not supported"

when I used the windows media center to set up a TV and after few seconds a massege emerged an stated the followin "The TV signal can not be configured because no tuner hardware was detected. Please ensure that your hardware is correctly installed. If you don't have tuner hardware you may purchase a tuner online from windows Marketplace"

Then I've tried to search for a newer version for my tuner, I found one and installed it corectly, but there is no program that I can use to verify that my card is working proberly or not!!!
can you state one for me!
Also the windows media center still giving the same error message!!? WHY, I don't know!!?

That is all for now, hope you help me till the end
Thank you very much for your care
Sincerely

Abdurrahman

Finally one thing I want to add which is that the driver is not digitally signed

Hope you find a solution to my case
Thanks a lot

Sincerely

Hello again,

I've successfully resolved almost all the problem now except that part of windows media center, now I've a working driver for Vista and I've a working program and every things is going well.

The only annoying matter which is that of windows media center still giving that stupid message which is "The TV signal can not be configured because no tuner hardware was detected. Please ensure that your hardware is correctly installed. If you don't have tuner hardware you may purchase a tuner online from windows Marketplace"
This message appea each time I try to set up a TV using windows media center, do any one know the cause of that message!!!
Does the driver being not digitally signed play a role in such an error message!!!?

If this problem is solved so I'd be so greatful to you. That's it, thank you very much.

dai · 05-08-2007, 02:09 AM

tap f8 when booting and from the options choose
allow drivers not digitally signed
can you post the driver you found so anyone refering to this thread knows where to find it

Abdurrahman · 05-08-2007, 08:44 AM

The site is :

The exact place where I found a driver working with vista is here:

Abdurrahman · 05-08-2007, 08:50 AM

Hi again,

I've done what you said and allowed the drivers not digitally signed as I choosed the following choice in the F8 screen:

Disable signature conformation
This enables the impropered signatured driver to be loaded

Then I tried again to setup a TV using the windows media center and it still gives the same error message which is titled NO TUNER HARDWARE FOUND

what to do next!!

dai · 05-08-2007, 10:42 AM

reseat the card

Abdurrahman · 05-08-2007, 03:49 PM

Before I do that, As i refered previously I've another program working proberly while the windows media center gives that message.

Now it is the same,don't notice any change, not useful!!
What to do next!!

dai · 05-09-2007, 11:47 AM

it may not be up to the specs required by media centre,i have never used it as i have had no interest in it
see if you can find a bios update for the card

Abdurrahman · 05-09-2007, 12:38 PM

Hi,

All what I want to say is "thank God that I've a working program, so that I can use my card with vista"

Now, I won't mind by that windows media center, I got enough from it.

Finally, Dear Dai, I would like to thank you very much for your patience and caring in my case, Thank you very very nuch.

Sincerely
Abdurrahman
