WMC will not match ota channels to the TV guide
I installed a AVerTHVD Duet tv tuner card on my Windows 7 Enterprise edition system. It worked fine for a couple of days. Was changing the channel lineup around, which it seemed to have some difficulty with. When I shut the system down, I got a blue screen with a note there was a hardware problem with the tuner.
I removed the card, and uninstalled the drivers. I installed the tuner card on another Windows 7 Enterprise computer, and it worked fine with WMC.
I then reinstalled it on the original machine, and it found the card, found the tv signals, but WMC would give me a serious problem error when it started to put the channels with the guide. It would not finish the setup process.
I have checked the card in the Device Manager, and it is showing as working properly.
Short of a complete reinstall of Windows, are there any settings in the registry or elsewhere, that can put WMC back to its initial state? I have some software installed that I have to deactivate and reactivate, and have about used up the allowable reactivation's, so don't want to go this route. Oh, yes, tried to do the repair-reinstall Windows process and it failed. Fortunately, had an image of the disk, but won't go through that again.
Any ideas?
