Re: Vista Media Center "Loss of Signal"
I wanted to make sure so I just threw one in and it plays just fine. I've
not done any manual driver loading, so does that tell me that someone's put a
bad tuner driver out there for my tuner?
I see that I have the option of rolling back the tuner driver which I
suppose tells me that the driver has been updated from the driver that was
originally installed. I'll roll back and see what happens.
