Pinnacle USB TV Tuner Problems

Hey Everybody,

I installed the trial of Fusion last night and successfully installed Final Fantasy VII. Afterwards, I installed pinnacle Media Center and hooked up my PCTV USB tuner from the PC days and it recognized it as a device so I went to sleep. Problem is today when i actually hooked it up to cable and tried to scan for stations It wouldn't recognize any channels. It still recognizes channels on my IBM laptop I use for school, but it won't through the virtual machine on my mac mini. I am running Windows XP on both the laptop and the virtual machine.

I wanted to try Fusion before I used Boot Camp because of its simplicity and the Unity feature which wouldn't require me to reboot to use my TV tuner. The only reason I am running windows on my mac is so I don't have to buy a new TV tuner, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if you need any more information just let me know.

Thanks in advance!

-Will

All it needed was a fresh install and an increase in the virtual memory. I hadn't checked the memory and it was running way too low.
