ProgDVB SS1 Hardware mode: strange "pixelation"

Let me show you what happens...
Several days ago I put another HD on my pc, to start a program and data migration and remove "old" one (I hate to change PC too often).
If I start OS from old disk progdvb (started from new disk) works in hw mode, if I start the "new" OS progdvb (the same, always started from "new" disk) pixelates (but's not best description of problem). I got a shot with my phone cam to make you see the problem (bad photo, I know...)
This strange effect is visible on panning scenes, or scene changes, on static images pixels disappear.
Next, I took a snapshot of all modules loaded from Progdvb process (working and non working) using process explorer and all modules are the same except: imm32.dll, lpk.dll, MSCTFIME.IME, usp10.dll (loaded from progdvb only on "new" OS installation, they are dlls to support chinese simplified)
I looked on system resources to see if ACPI was "mapping" irqs differently but no differences.
I have a SS2 too, but HW mode is good for me, to watch tv or listen radios while working with a small "footprint" and low resources usage, so please help me too.
Sorry for (most probably) bad english.
