AnyDVD + HD PVR = BSOD

I installed AnyDVD this morning on my HTPC and was immediately greated with a BSOD after rebooting.  Nothing would bring it back (system restore, uninstalling anydvd).  I finally reinstalled Vista and started adding stuff to the mix, as soon as the drivers for the HD-PVR were added, BSOD.  I could system restore the HD-PVR drivers away and get back in, but a system restore to before AnyDVD was installed still didn't let the HD-PVR play on the box.  Guess sneakernet will have to do.

I was running the HD-PVR drivers on a box with AnyDVD without having any issues...very weird!  I also had the HD option for ADVD installed...hmmm...which hd-pvr drivers were you using?  When I had them both on the same machine, it was with the older version of the drivers (pre DD5.1).

Also, I had not updated ADVD in a while.

The 5.1 audio ones.  

I'm going to throw up a home server instance so I can take a restore backup and see if I can get it working again.
