DVB-S PCI card not working

[davil]

Hi all,

maybe somebody can help me with this one:

I bought an AverMedia A700 (PCI Hybrid DVB-S and TV and FM card).

I installed the drivers + software from the disk and when I try to use the AverTV software or

any other software like ProgDVB for example,

The exe crashes and gives up details as ntdll.dll - I did a few searches and came up empty until today:

I tried the following windows update but to no avail:

Update for Windows XP (KB896626)
