This is really strange, I start up my computer the other day and it's trys searching for drivers for my tuner. So I send it to the folder with the tuner drivers and it won't take them. I grab the original driver disk and it won't take them. download newest(you know the drill) nothing, nada.

Anyways I had just done a BF2 patch, thinking that may have been an issue I do a sys restore, still no luck. So I pull the Winfast tuner out of my sons comp and put it in mine it works fine, i put my card in his and it starts searching for drivers.

So I'm at work a couple of days later and a friend of mine says his winfast TV tuner had just crapped out on him(BF2 player as well) We bought are cards about the same time( little over a year ago) I'm thinking thats odd same problem can't find drivers.

So I come home tonight wake my comp from standby ran windows update downloaded a couple of security items reboot and now the one from my sons comp that has been working fine in my comp for about 5 days craps out.

Anyone run into this? Seems like when hardware goes bad it just stops working it doesn't ask for drivers. Help me out here.

Ok, answer me this when hardware like a sound card, modem, nic,etc dies it doesn't ask for drivers it just doesn't show up right? So it's like the tuner is not dead, it's just being bitchy right?
