HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I have Window 7 RTM w/ WMC & I got a HVR-1600 tuner card for Christmas. It was working fine for about 4days & then yesterday the video & audio started to stuttering, fast forwarding to catch up with the feed & then the video & audio will just stop playing. I have tried to roll back my system to an earlier time, I uninstalled a couple programs (ImageMixer & some others programs that I got with a camcorder) with no luck. I also installed Media Center Decoder Utility to change the decoder & this made things worse, instead of stuttering & fast forwarding, it gets me an error message saying; video Decoder is not working, not install or not supported. I tried to change it back & it still gives me the same message.
Does anyone know how to repair this; it would be great to use my $120 tuner card again.

Thanks for any info,
