    I'm at my wits end here.

    Have a PCV-RS630G, I never bothered with Gigapocket until now. I reloaded the app and drivers - it worked great - until I rebooted. Now the application just hangs. Which is odd because if I go into TV setup I can flip through all the channels in the preview window, but the app itself just hangs.
    I uninstall, reinstall. It works great, until I reboot, then it hangs.
    Any ideas?

    I know this thread is for the drivers, but what can you do to FIX GigaPocket? My problem is with the Video Capsules it records and stores. I can't play any back with GigaPocket. I get an error message that it has to close, and the capsule is left in memory (in use) and i have to restart the computer in order to delete them. I have to export the capsules in order to watch them, which limits my remote to only record and stop. This has been bugging me for a while now, so i'm hoping i'll get an answer (fix) for this problem. Thank you for your time.

    okay i installed giga pocket and when opening the program i receives 2 messages:

    1: another application is using hardware overlay. please retry after exiting another application using overlay function....

    -- this problem might be from my video card (ati radeon 9200, omega drivers) as it isn't 3-d compactible. other type of radeon 9200 drivers were able to display 3-d but it gives me the BSOD, so i going to stay with omega drivers which is stable.

    2. failed to set channel using giga pocket hardware libary.

    --- not sure what the problem is.

    hope this helps, im going to try with windows xp pro another time.

    I'm trying to help my sister-in-law with her Sony Vaio PC. The motherboard needed replacing, so I ended up having an ASUS motherboard installed. I installed all the software, but like many others here, I cannot get the Giga Pocket to play audio for live TV. If I record something, there is audio when I do a playback.

    It's running Windows XP Pro SP3, and I installed Giga Pocket 5.5

    The model number of the PC is VGC-RB64G.

    I forgot to mention that the TV tuner card is the ENX-26.

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Steve

    You might try going to windows audio input properties and try setting to 'stereo mix'.
    Some people have had to add a audio jumper wire from the enx card to aux input connector on main board.

    I tried activating "stereo mix", but it didn't do anything.

    I looked at the card, and it appears that Sony uses a proprietary audio cable (surprise, surprise).

    Anyway, I've given up trying to get it to work properly. She doesn't really use the TV tuner, so she's just happy to get her PC back.

    Goto device manager and update the "?" driver files with the drivers in #2 drivers folder. These are the XP/media center/media server 2003 drivers and will not work with Vista.

    I bought a new Sony Vaio PCV-W1 desktop PC/TV some years ago. It has worked fine until recently when I noticed that the Volume + (Plus) on the Sony RM-GP5U remote control didn't work. Neither did the Volume + on the upturned keyboard although I can increase the volume using Giga Pocket's software on-screen volume control.

    So using the hardware controls, I can reduce volume but not increase it. I bought a new GP5U remote control which made no difference.

    How can I fix this problem?

    I have all the original CDs and paperwork that came with my Sony.

    For the ENX13 the only thing to try is GigaPocket for ENX15

    Do you have a D:\ partition?
    It is required for the app to run.
