Sage Client won't playback anything

[srothwell]

I installed Sage Client on a new (well, repurposed) PC and I always get the error: "There was a Playback Error in playback. Details: sage.PlaybackException: ERROR (-4,0x80040217)"

I know this has something to do with decoders not connecting or something and I have looked at other posts. Here is what I *HAVE* done:

I have installed WinDVD 7 and nvidea decoders. WinDVD 7 plays the sage file just fine.

I have set SageTV to use (one at a time) both decoders. Neither one has had any success.

I have tried Overlay and VMR 9. Neither work. Interesting though that you get the message when going to VMR9 that it needs 3D Accellaration. No matter what 3D will not work.

I have installed the very latest Intel 845G Built-In "Extreme" graphics drivers directly from Intel's site.

Obviously, I have re-started Sage Client and rebooted WinXP Pro umpteen times -- no good.

Can anyone help? This is my wife's PC and WAF is dependant on her watching TV while she works in the home office :-)

Thanks!

Stacy

Yes, as well as WinDVD 7 and Nero Showtime.
