When I tune ProgDVB into a channel, it can only show the channel for a few seconds, and then the whole computer crashes (sometimes it even reboots).

I have already installed KB896626, and it doesn't help.

ProgDVB has version 4.85.2 running on Windows XP SP2 on a P4 2600MHz. I am using a SkyStar 2 card.

The whole system was newly reinstalled. Any sugestions??

It wasn't a problem with the ProgDVB version I was using before (4.80 i think).

try other video/audio codec or/and renderer ...

Progdvb 4.85.2 & 5.09.1

Full installer of ProgDVB (for Windows 2000/XP)
Optimized for Intel P4 CPU update (Win XP/2000)
update for Windows 98/ME

4.85.2/5.09.1 Remake most important function of filter manager for more flexibility and stability.

or go back to a previous progdvb version...

The whole system was newly reinstalled.

can be damaged after 5 minutes

Seem hard disk problem if timeshift or record is enabled.
