I am writing an article for a British computer magazine on building a media PC and am very impressed by the features shown on your website.
However, when I downloaded a copy and attempted to play a WMV file the system stopped responding and I had to restart. When the system went back into windows it instantly crashed and restarted itself. Tried several times and looked worrying. Finally managed to get it running using the "use last known good configuration" on the boot menu. I then uninstalled the software and restarted, no problem.
I then installed the software again tried the same thing, playing a WMV file. The system locked up again and restarted itself only this time instead of crashing immediately on re-entry into windows i got the blue screen of death and then restarted. The next restart I let the scan disk run and it found an error in pagefile.sys and corrected it. On sucessfully re-entering windows the web report for the error was:
STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
My conundrum is that I want to recommend this software as the best, as according to the features and forums it:
Provides PVR, EPG etc
Works with dual DVB-T tuners (eg Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI’ )
Records in DivX
Plays all formats including .mov and .rm files
Which puts it above the rest as most fail in at least one of those. However, I am rather concerned to reccomend it to thousands of readers when it crashes my whole system nearly unrecoverably. I suspect this is either a feak configuration thing or something solvable as I could find no such other serious errors on the forum.
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks
