Sage Broke my WHS Console

[ewm1205]

Hello

I installed the latest download of Sage(15 day trial) for WHS, went thru setting it up with my new USB tuner i just bought (Happauge WinTV-HVR-950Q) after the install and configuration i tried to go into the WHS console and i got this error.
"the WHS console expierenced a problem with a feature during the previous attempt to open it. If the problem persists please call tech support.
to open the console click retry, to open the console without the feature so you can troubleshoot with tech support click skip."

I am using Remote Desktop when this happens, and i installed sage using RDC as well.
nothing happens when i click either of the options. WHS console will not open at all. i also tried to login using the WHS connector, but i get the same error message. i have the full version of WHS and i am using the 15 day trial of sage to see if i like it enough. my 4th HD (WD 500g green drive) is formatted with the 64 blocks like it suggests. the folder for recordings is I:\SageTV.


anyone got any idea's? i tried searching for this problem but nothing came up. i hope i gave enough in here, its really late and i am doing the chicken nod, so forgive me if forget something of i am rambling.
here is my setup:

WHS Server: Chenbro ES34069 Case, Intel BOXDQ45EK ITX MB, Intel C2D E7400 (dual 2.8ghz) CPU, Kingston Half Hight 4G DDR2-800 ram, 2.5in WD 320g HD (System HD), WD 4x500g Green drives, WD 1T External HD, Sony Slim Slot Load DVD-ROM, SIIG PCI E x1 SATA Controller(320g and DVD ore on this card, rest are controlled by the MB)
Software: WHS, Avast! for WHS, Diskeeper for WHS, Drive Balancer Whiist, BDBB,

You're supposed to install Sage on WHS through the console's Add-ins deal. And have you tried rebooting at all?

well i checked my event viewer and found the problem to be .NET2.0. i thought i got it to 3.5, but i guess i missed that update. so my console works again.

My new problem now is thati cannot get a signal at all. i can look thru the weeks schedule and actually set a recording but i get no signal.

I do get a signal thru Happauge's progran called winTV that installed, but it is reversed like looking at it thru a mirror. wierd. any takers? hehe

If you can't get the tuner to work with WinTV correctly, then it might be a driver issue. WHS is based on Server 2003. Most of the time, XP drivers will work, but not always. Have your checked the Hauppauge or Sage forums to see if anyone is using that tuner with WHS successfully?
