If you want people to help, provide software and hardware information - 'Vista & crashes' isn't exactly a lot to go on.....

He's right, we tend to ignore these posts.

Look at the top of any part of the forum and it will tell you how to ask for help correctly.

As a start, crashes bad enough to lock up the PC are usually hardware or driver related - are your TV card drivers the latest, and are they Vista compatible ?

Do you have the latest updates to DirectX installed ? - see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en

Ok i will install direct x updates. Ive already updated my SQL software to 3.0 with windows update.

I have an Intel CE6230 DVBT BDA with the latest vista Drivers.

Windows Media Center wont detect the tuner but Media Portal Does.

And as i said before, it crashes when i try to scan for channels.

Click on the 'User CP' link at the top of this page, then 'Edit System Specification' and fill out your system specs - then other users can click on the 'My System' link and see what hardware/software you have - i.e. help people to help you....

My guess is that if Vista Media Center can't see the tuner then MediaPortal may have problems too - does the tuner work with the software that came with it ?

You could also try something like ProgDVB ?
