HP m7680n Upgrade to Vista Ultimate - TV Tuner not found when setting up TV
in Media Center

I purchased an HP m7680n system that ran Media Center 2005 without any
errors. The PC was labeled and sold as Vista Capable. I ran the Windows
Vista Upgrade Advisor and was told that my machine could run Vista.

I upgraded to Vista Ultimate and receive an error message when I try to
setup the TV in Media Center. The message indicates Tuner not found. When I
exit Media Center there is a window that indicates Media Center encountered
and error and when I close this window anther window appears that indicates I
can receive more information by clicking on it. Then a help window appears
that indicates DEP may be the issue with instruction on how to remove an
applicaiton from DEP, but when I attempt to exclude Media Center DEP I
receive a message that indicates you can not turn DEP off for Media Center (I
do not have the exact message as I am currently at work).

I have tried every driver on Hauppauge web site but still receive this
message. I can use the WinTV2000 application from Hauppauge to watch TV but
still receive the error message in Media Center.

My HP m7680n came with Nvidia GeForce 7300LE and Hauppauge WinTV PCI II
(26xxx). I was under the impression if the computer was advertised as being
Windows Vista Capable / Window Premium Ready and the Windows Vista Upgrade
Advisor indicated that the hardware met the Premium requirements that the
system could be upgraded.


I have contact MS for support and a person emailed me wanting more
information, but all mail to his address is returned. MS Chat with a tech
indicates there are no chat sessions available.

Please help

This suggests that you have not installed BDA drivers for your card. These
are needed for Media Centre.

Can you give me more information on BDA drivers. Where can I get the drivers
and how do I install them?
