need TV Tuner help

Ok i bought my HP pavilion DV600 laptop about a year ago with XP preinstalled. i later got Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. The TV tuner came with my purchase with the laptop. With XP i could use the TV tuner with Media Center perfectly, after i installed Vista it worked fine too i belive. a few months later i reformatted my hardrive and reinstalled Vista and my TV tuner would no longer work. I took some pictures of what happens. and some of the TV tuner card. By the way the Model is HP EC680 Analog TV Tuner

Re: need TV Tuner help

may be a driver issue, make sure you have up to date drivers for the tuner card, for vista x32, from the card manufacturers website. Windows Update will sometimes update drivers for you, but, those drivers may not be the proper match. . .
