I hope this is in the correct section.

As the title says, my Compro Videomate e300 works when i install the drivers. As soon as i reboot, both Compro DTV and Media Centre cannot find channels.
I am using the latest 6.01.080 driver and DTV 4.53.600 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (i just installed it 2 days ago, so the installation is clean)

If i uninstall the driver from Programs and Features, then delete the device from the Device Manager, reboot then install the driver. It works perfectly. However if i reboot my pc, it stops working again.

I previously had Windows Xp Sp3 and the card worked perfectly.

There was no strange error message, it was just as though i unplugged the cable from the tv card. None of the software could find any channels, even the FM radio couldnt pick up anything.

Please help me. Thank you

Ok, i found a microsoft kb article explaining what those values mean:

And ive set both driver 'Start' values to 2, which means it auto loads regardless of service type (it originally was set on 3, load on demand)
Also set the the ErrorControl to 1 which will report if the driver did not load.
Did a restart and still nothing, not even any error events.

I can't understand why a company would put up a brand new driver that doesn't work.

My last suggestion is to e-mail them and mention you saw the driver does not work after reboot.
