Anyone have any idea how I could fix a problem with a SS2. I installed it on Monday and got it going about 10 hours later using ProgDVB. Card works fine.

However where my 2.4Ghz 256RAM PC used to start up quickly it now takes just over 5 minutes. (I used to think it had crashed)

Looked through the autoexec.bat files but it was last modified 15/1/2002.
(Maybe Autoexec files aren't really in use anymore)

I have an XP system and when I physically remove the SS2 card it starts within 40secs.
Any ideas greatly appreciated
Maurice

It is probably being confused by the Skystar trying to take over the network, they can be used for satellite internet access. It's a long time since I used mine, but you probably need to uninstall the card and drivers and make sure that when you re-install, you only install the TV software and drivers.

Thanks Rolf,
I tried that already, I even tried only installing the drivers and it still took ages to boot up.

Does anyone know what the new equivalent of the "Autoexec.bat" file is called and where it may be located

Hi
Select RUN from the start menu Type "msconfig" , go to the startup tab and remove ticks from anything you dont want to start then restart the machine

Dear Rolf & Barry,
I played around with "MSconfig" and then all hell broke loose. So I changed the motherboard from a 2.4intel to an AMD2800 and now everything is working great - and a lot faster. Thanks guys for all your help.

Dear Mansoor,
I just loaded the software on the CD supplied with the card.
Is it a motorised dish / Diseque switched or a single LNB?
Did you put in valid transponders eg. "10719V@27500 for Hotbird" manually into your transponder list as I had to do this to get a signal bar on the bottom.
Alternetively there is a PDF manual on the CD.
Hope this has been of help
Maurice
