Okay, my computer and all its hardware have been working fine for over a year, and I have not installed anything new within that time.
I was attempting to play Battlefield 2 yesterday with a voice chat program activated and I think the voice chat program was having some problems because I was getting some high ping. Eventually, I think, it caused me to freeze up in BF2, so I hard reset my computer.
Booting back into Windows XP SP2, I now have a found new hardware wizard popping up for a multimedia controller, and a multimedia video controller.
Dismayed, I checked the device manager, and I'm pretty sure they are my TV Tuner card, because I don't see them listed in the installed section. Both devices are on PCI Slot 4. I'm still confused as to how my crash uninstalled my tv tuner card, but I try to reinstall the drivers for them and it won't work. It's a Leadtek WinTV 2000, and they provide the inf files -- I have a folder with all the tv tuner device files, and when I point to it it won't detect that those are the correct drivers.
Also, my tv application works fine. It hasn't been effected.
So, now I have this pop up everytime I start windows for these 2 devices and I can't figure out a way to fix the problem or what the extent of the damage was.
Any ideas or has anyone else had this happen to them?
