Michael: I called Belkin again and they repeated their answer. The card is
working; you have a configuration problem with your computer and need a
microsoft tech to solve it. I suggested I return the Belkin card for another
brand; to which he replied that no brand of card will work as long as the
configuration is unchanged. I gave up on that computer, a Sony with MCE
(Media Center Edition) 2005 installed. I then changed out the card to an
older Sony computer; installed the Belkin software then the card and it was
working 3 minutes later? Maybe it was the MCE edition of XP Pro that was
hanging it. Who knows? I am back in business with a different computer.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and your help. It is appreciated!
