The alert you specified does not always refer to a systems graphics card
many time it refers to a systems TV Tuner/Video Capture card or its drivers.
It is also important that the DVD Decoder for decoding the video be
compatible.
What TV tuner card do you have and are you sure you have its MCE drivers and
not its regular Windows drivers installed?

I had thought of that, I did upgrade the DVD Decoder. How do I find what the
TV tuner card is? Is it listed in devices? When I look in System info, I only
see Display.
