Hauppauge HVR1300: Windows cannot load the drivers required (1 Viewer)

[ChrisOfCatford]

Hi,

I suppose this is not a Mediaportal issue and more of a hardware issue, but I have looked everywhere else and not found anything that works.

I have 2 TV cards installed and (Terratec dual DVBT and Hauppauge HVR1300 (I think that is the model)).

Yesterday the Hauppauge one stopped working (started with the remote failing) and in the device manager I get the following:
A yellow exclaimation mark next to Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-T Hybrid Tuner/Demod.
On viewing properties it says "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)".

I have found plenty of references to this, one even onthe Hauppauge site suggesting deleting a registry key, but no solutions work.

I have also run HCWClear.exe and installed the latest driver (version 2.126.28225.0) to no avail.

MP detects the card but lists it as "Unknown".

Has my card died or am I missing something?

To add to this, I did also got this problem the other day, then it started working again. I thought it was somethig else going on. My other TV card also stopped working recently with a message about not enough resources being availible to start the device. This cleared on a re-start.

Thanks,
Chris

I'm no expert Chris, but today I added my spare Hauppauge Nova T500 - and I just couldn't get it working. Drivers wouldn't install, HTPC wouldn't even see it. I messed about for about 1/2 an hour until I realised it wasn't seated in the PCI fully - it looked like it was though. I turned off, removed and refitted the card and it was then fine. Maybe yours has moved slightly?? It may be worth a try??

OMG.

Windows does not have an error message that says "Windows can't load the drivers for your device because your water cooling solution is leaking all over your TV card".

Replaced pipe, removed card, cleaned card, returned card... Fixed.

Thanks for all suggestions. As always I am humbled by the best thing about Mediaportal... SUPPORT!

Thanks,
Chris

Hmmmmm... ask Microsoft if they can add the dialog?? Maybe a humidity sensor add on ??

Good to hear that you have it working again.
