Installation problem

[ASegredo]

I dual boot WinME and Win2K on a FAT32 partition. The trial Sage Recorder 1.5 installed and ran without a hitch on WinME, unlike Hauppage WinTV which took a week to get running. However, I would like to do a four hour recording and ultimately six hour recordings. The resulting file sizes are too big for FAT32, so I thought I would use Win2K and store the files on a NTFS partition on another drive. However, I had lots of problems installing under Win2K. First, I had to do a 44 package Windows Update. Then, when Sage Recoder would install, whenever I try to autotune the channels, I get a "machine gun" sound from the speakers and Windows locks up. This also happens with WinTV which doesn't surprise me given all the problems I had installing on WinME.

I have a Hauppauge PVR-250 PCI card and an ATI Radeon 7000 video card. The CPU is an AMD K6-III+ 450 Mhz, which is below the minimum requirements, but this CPU usually benchmarks as equivalent to a PII 600Mhz. Besides, it works great on WinME. I have 384 Meg memory and a Tyan S1590 (VIA chipset) motherboard and a Western Digital 80G drive partitioned 50-50 Windows and Fedora Core 2. I boot with the Win2K boot manager. I am running the latest Haupauge drivers from their web site. It wouldn't work with drivers on the CD either.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Looks like a real OS needs more recent hardware. That's not surprising.

"Machine Gun" sounds are usually caused by playback errors. Check your decoders, can you play other files without issue in WMP?

When in doubt - uninstall Sage Recorder, update Java, reinstall Sage Recorder.
