I've been using a Hauppauge 250 for about a year, with absolutely no problems. I just built a new machine, and took the card out of the old one. Windows does not even see it, either by itself, or when I tell xp to look for new hardware. Absolutely no sign that it is in a pci slot. It doesn't show up in the bios, either. I've put other cards in the same slots, and xp finds them right away, so I know it's not the slots. I took the pvr out and put it back in the old pc, and xp found it in that machine, so I know it's not the card itself. Any thoughts? I've got no idea, nor have I found any info in my searches. I'm using xp, an msi motherboard, a radeon 9200se 8x agp video card, a gig of memory and a p4 2.8 800fsb, and everything else works just fine. Thanks in advance for any advice...
