Hi Everyone, i have a little problem with my pc.
i have a Sony Vaio VGC-RB42G.
It came with media center edition when i bought it, and i have reinstalled the windows media center edition on it and i have went to sony website and i have downloaded all the drivers, but when i power up my media center and try the Live TV option, i get an error saying:

"Decoder Error
The Video Decoder has either malfunctioned or it is not installed, Please restart Media Center and/or Computer"

i have everything in it that came in stock, and i installed all the drivers and everything works besides the live TV, could someone help me, maybe send me some drivers or something. I have the stock Sony Giga Pocket TV Tuner.
Thanks Everyone.

The Video Decoder has either malfunctioned

If you search google for that, you will get a lot of hits that may answer your question.

From Sony's website, most likely.
