Vista - decoder error in media center

We have two treads going on the same problem. But, I downloaded the NVIDIA
Purevideo decoder Platinum 30 day trial. It installed clean. I started
Vista Media Center and BAM! I was back watching Live TV and able to watch
recorded TV. Spent way too much time on this problem. It was definately a
download "fix" in the middle of the night that broke my Vista. Who? I don't
care anymore. Thanks to all you guys for the suggestions.
