I recently purchased a Sabrent TV-USB2.0 TV Tuner from Tiger Direct. I knew it would be a piece of junk from the get-go, as it was so cheap (about $39 CAD). I hooked it up to my PC, installed the drivers, installed WinDVR 3, and got everything to work. I recorded a few home-videos from my VHS. A few hours later, I shut my PC off and went to work.

When I arrived home later that evening, my Sabrent capture device wouldn't work at all. I kept getting annoying "cannot detect device" error messages in WinDVR, even though it had previousely worked flawlessly. So a few extremely frustrating hours later, I still couldn't get the drivers to re-install. But I got to the point where when I plugged the device into the USB port, it recognized it as "MEDIA". It wouldn't install.

Sp I got fed up and installed a fresh copy of XP pro. I clicked the bubble that popped up on my icon tray informing me about the "MEDIA" device, and I went through the "Found New Hardware" process for what it called "USB TV Tuner Analog Video". I got to the point where I located the drivers on my CD, and I hit OK to continue with the driver installation. Then my computer reset. I've tried it a couple more times with the USB plugged in, and a few times with it taken out. Still resets... What I don't get is why it worked before, but now it doesn't? This software really sucks big-time... Can someone pleaaaaase help me, because this piece of junk is ticking me off

Anyways thanks,
