I deleted the drm's and the lockups went away. the amd patch seems to work for some people. however some peoples problems may be due to drm’s that are downloaded automatically (for instance hbo’s protected content.)

It did fine for a couple of days until XP auto-updated to MCE roll-up 2. Now live tv just freezes and locks-up the pc. Searching google, the answer seems to be either wipe your pc and install xp from scratch or roll back with system restore. Unfortunately, my system installed the roll-up right after I bought the system. Is there no other option? -todd My gateway GT-5034 TV stuttered the same way so I updated the AMD driver.

Tried to update driver at Gateway website, but didn't help. Tv still freezes, you would think someone would have a fix by now. I have same problem with a gateway with a P4.
