Hi Everyone, i have a little problem with my pc.
i have a Sony Vaio VGC-RB42G.
It came with media center edition when i bought it, and i have reinstalled the windows media center edition on it and i have went to sony website and i have downloaded all the drivers, but when i power up my media center and try the Live TV option, i get an error saying:
"Decoder Error
The Video Decoder has either malfunctioned or it is not installed, Please restart Media Center and/or Computer"
i have everything in it that came in stock, and i installed all the drivers and everything works besides the live TV, could someone help me, maybe send me some drivers or something. I have the stock Sony Giga Pocket TV Tuner.
Thanks Everyone.

i am not an expert, but have lots of experience with my own media center. by moving the tuner card you changed the address of it which if the os does not recognize new hardware, it will not install the drivers for it. i believe you will have to use the device manager to reinstall the drivers for the tuner card. also will have to redo the setup for the tuner in media center. another problem with the softare change is you have to update the security components to be able to view certain channels.
you can find the best information for all these subjects at your computer manufacturers support website and of course microsoft for the security components. good luck, it should not be too difficult to solve your delemna with a little research and searching there.

well, if you got experience on reformat OS, do so, Go ahead and format and install the Windows Media Center, there could be something missing from the restored past installation.
Wheather or not you see the right drivers, in control panel, is a best way to reformat the system and if you got all the drivers, install them after the OS installation..
good luck
