I had exactly the problem you describe...Microsoft told me Hauppauge should solve the problem, Hauppauge told me Microsoft..catch 22...
What I did after all (and it is working in my case)I made a clean installation of Windows ME, with all drivers and software for my graphic board and my WinTV card as well. I installed WinXP over that now. Of course the compatibility checker will alert you upfront that this will not work. However, after XP was running, the first thing I did was to overwrite now the WinTV drivers and the graphic drivers ( I am using a Riva TNT2-64 Pro) with their XP versions. I restarted Windows....and its up and running since weeks now.

ooops..in addition...
the main point for all that is (well, was for me) that XP for some reason assigned the same IRQ to my graphic board, my soundboard and the tv board. and there is NO way to change that (as Microsoft says is the ressource sharing under XP safe, what ever that means)). Since it is possible to change those assignments manualy under WinME I did just that.And XP has been so friendly after all to except it and to use the same assignments I had set manualy before.

I had exactly the same problem. I had a SCSI card in PCI 2, the hauppage in PCI 3 and a Soundblaster Live in PCI 4. I stripped my other cards out and placed the hauppage in a PCI 2 on its own. Hey presto with no other cards present it worked perfectly. I then placed each card back in one by one, letting XP find the new hardware from fresh. The Soundblasters in 3 and the SCSIs in 4.
The TV card has taken IRQ 5, The Soundblasters on IRQ 9 and the SCSI card on IRQ 10. I hope this can point you in the right direction.
