As title, installed my SP2 version of MCE, now I get errors starting up media center program that says:

PsisRndr.ax in ehRecvr.exe

and when I try to run TV setup it again errors with:

ntdll.dll in ehRecvr.exe

system is:

XP pro 32bit MCE
core 2 at 3.15ghz
2gb DDR2
Gigabyte DQ6 p35 chipset
Terratec 2400i cinergy pci-e tv card

Anyone ? It now says there is a Recvr.exe as soon as windows boots up now, seems its totally furbard, any idea which update does this to it ? can it be uninstalled?

I had this with MCE but with a haupage HVR-1100 card, was caused by the drivers, but the only way i sorted it was a total reinstall.

Might be worth booting in to safe mode, and uninstall the tv card drivers and starting again. making sure you have the MCE drivers as i think they sometimes differ to the XP ones

Well this is a clean install, as soon as i installed everything it failed

, iv tried a previous driver and no go

, is it a case of it working on old drivers + old MCE, but any driver with MCE updated it wont work ? :eek:

I believe the error you are getting is due to the remote (based on the files that are causing the error)...I am not totally sure though.

By the looks of it

There latests drivers dont specify MCE support, only XP and Vista. It shouldnt make a difference but it usually does (Its to do with MCE's built in MPEG decoder), have you tried mailing there support?
