Code 23 Error

Question

Setup my XPS400 last weekend RAID 0 and just installed MCS 2005.. This weekend I'm setting up everything like 'normal' (settings and such)! So after opening up Media Center I'm getting code 23... I've tried everything - and yes looked it up under thegreenbutton.com... Not too much info aside from people getting this when the service is having issues! I called Cablevision and nothing! All my TV and HDTV are working like a champ... Any ideas???

Below is the Microsoft answer/response to Code 23. This may or may not be the problem. Code 23. The text displayed for this error code differs depending on the Circumstances.

This code means that the device loader delayed the start of a device and then did not inform Windows when it was ready to start the device.

To resolve this error code, verify the settings for the primary display adapter in Display properties. Try removing the primary and secondary display adapters from Device Manager, and then rebooting to allow Windows to re-enumerate these devices. Verify that the drivers are current and installed correctly.

For devices other than display adapters, follow the recommended solution. If that does not work, try removing the device from Device Manager and using the Add New Hardware wizard to redetect the device.

So basically they are stating it's my GPU causing the issue.. When I found this out I cleared out my drivers and up'd to the tweakerizer 92.81 version.. About 2 months ago I reflashed my 7950GT KO to the SC version so maybe that's causing the issue now... Interesting!   Thanx bro! BRY
