TV tuner stops responding
A problem has been identified where the TV tuner hangs (locks up, cannot be
terminated) on systems with processors that support hyperthreading technology. Reference MS Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;817589 (the article refers to using the "TV tuner feature of your soundcard", but I think they mean "video card") I have such a system, and it does indeed lock up occasionally. Has anybody received the patch from Microsoft, and does it fix the problem? My system: Windows XP Pro P4-2.8, 1 GB RAM (dual channel) ATI Radeon 9600 Pro ATI TV Wonder Pro Audigy2 sound card |

Hmm. I wonder if this is why my mulTview window shows corruption.
Unfortunately, I can't disable HT on my motherboard to test this. Have you received the new stream.sys from MS? "RainMan" baxteratblargdotnet wrote in message ...

No, I haven't. That's why I inquired here first. Apparently you have to
phone Microsoft Support to request the file, and there's no guarantee that the call will be free. However, I did upgrade my video card drivers to Catalyst 3.7, and haven't had problems since (but it's only been about 2 hours). "David Shorthouse" wrote in message ... Hmm.
