Please install SP3 as it is the requirement.

Hi

Is there any way around having to install SP3.
I cant run SP3 because newer versions of USBEHCI.SYS (which come in SP2 & SP3) cause my NovaT 500 to BSOD - This is a known issue which according to hauppauge requires a fix from MS. In SP2 I can replace this file with an older version but I dont think this is possible with SP3.

I will have some free time in a couple of weeks and was looking forward to upgrading my install of MP RC4 to the latest version. I really dont want to have to go to Vista in order to do this

cheers

I have no solution for you but maybe something to think about (change your mind about using vista especially with this TV card)

I think I had exactly the same (and later some more and some other) problems with my NovaT 500 and XP SP2/3.
As the USBEHCI.SYS problem iirc only occurs with the old 99xx version of the NovaT 500 cards I really have my doubts that M$ will ever (or some day soon) fix it. I waited for so long...

And you are right you can't just change the USBEHCI.SYS when you are using SP3. That doesn't work.

In the end I tried Vista 32 bit SP1 with MP 1.0.1.
Although I don't really like Vista it I was surprised how flawlessly the card now runs with it.
Also hibernate and wake up etc. was no longer a problem for me with this card.

So atm I'm happy that I tried it and finally changed the OS.

ya i managed to get it to work by installing a few hotfixes not too sure which one did it but try these
[Patch] DVB Tuner Issue and channel-scan crash - Windows XP - MediaPortal Forum
FIX: You cannot create an AVI file that is larger than approximately 512 GB, and you cannot play back an AVI file that is larger than approximately 800 GB by using DirectX
