I just got a new computer: OS: XP/Vista (dual boot) RAM: 1023 MB Processor: AMD Sempron™ Processor 2800+ 1.60 GHz When I got it the first thing I did was plug in basic cable to the tv tuner and it worked. My mom surprised me with digital cable the next day and so I hooked it up and start watching better tv lol. All of a sudden my comp freezes up then forces me to push the reset button on the cpu. I let it reboot and then windows (both of them) says that it found new hardware (the tv tuner) and when I pop in the driver cd for it the wizard still can't fnd the driver. I unplug the digital cable from the comp and it works again. I know, it is a no brainer... go back to the basic cable, but I really want digital, please  Thanks -smile07 |

hi, welcome to geektogo
when you added the cable the first time, did you use the cd or did xp recognise it straight off, or was it done with wizard's help |

Just so yall know, it turns out that the tv tuner is not compatible with digital cable, so this thread can be closed.
TYVM for the attempt to fix it! |
