    TV tuner YUAN MPC718 won't work with WHS

    I bought 2 years ago an Acer Idea 500 with OS Window Media Center 2005, always works fine.
    Acer Idea 500 has a TV tuner YUAN MPC718 inside and I was able to record TV show as well as I was able to watch TV show.
    Now I have bought WHS OEM DVD and I have installed it on my pc.
    When I try to install TV tuner driver everything seem to be fine but at the end of the driver installation WHS asks me for “yuanrap.sys” file and when I find it my pc crashes angry.gif and it appears a blue screen:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for drivers updates. Try changing video adapters.

    Check with your hardware vendor for any bios updates. Disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing. if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe mode.

    Technical information:
    ***stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005,0xB41977DE, 0xf78E25A8, 0xF78DE2A4)
    *** yuanrap.sys - Address B41977DE base B4187000, datestamp 45cbdb80
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have upgraded my BIOS. I sent an e-mail to Yuan but I hadn’t any answer. How can I resolve the problem? How can I make my TV tuner to work with WHS? Any idea is welcome.

    Windows Home Server is built around Windows Server 2003 so you need to look for a server version of the driver, however this build of windows is really designed to sit in the background and host your files rather than be a working day to day PC.

    It will only work if you have drivers for it. If you can't find any that work, then you're out of luck :(. You're better off building an HTPC to avoid troubles like this.
