Anybody else have this problem with their WinTV-PVR card?

[NTB]

When I click on the shortcut to star the WinTV Scheduler program, it appears to start up - the splash screen displays, a button appears on the Task Bar, and the program shows up on the task manager under both applications and processes - but the actual window never appears. If I boot into safe mode and try it, it works fine. That makes it sound like a program that runs at startup is causing the problem, but I've tried stopping all of them (one at a time, using StartupCPL) and that didn't fix anything. suggestions?

System specs: Windows XP Pro SP2, WinTV-PVR250 using the latest drivers (I forget the exact version off the top of my head)

I suggest using gbpvr instead of the WinTV software.

I assume this program takes the place of both the scheduler and the WinTV application? Does it use the on-board MPEG encoder on the WinTV-PVR boards?

Yes, it gets program data from either xmltv if you're outside the U.S. or zap2it if you're in the U.S. Yes, it uses the onboard MPEG encoder with your choice of audio and video bitrate, constant or vbr. It can playback recorded shows or display live tv or buffer live tv.

Thanks for the information - I'm trying to set it up right now.
