| DVD Player still won't run... A couple of brief questions please to the experts on this site. I have uninstalled/installed multiple DVD player software on my XP SP2 equipped computer and still can't get it to play a DVD since reloading the software. My DVD drive plays CD's perfectly and when opened dispays all DVD files just fine. I have the proper encoder/decoder codec's installed for Cyberlink's PowerDVD 4.0. Place a DVD in the drive, boot the program, hit play and the software disappears. Same scenario with Windows Media Player 10 that I also have installed on my machine. Have tried other DVD playing software packages and the same thing. I am at a loss....can't figure it out. The only two things left are drivers and/or perhaps something in my registry that is keeping a DVD from playing. I have all orginal audio/video drivers installed that used to work with Cyberlink 4.0. I can play stored AVI video fine from my digital camera for example on Windows Media Player 10. I have my video acceleration set low as suggested. Is it something in my registry that is incompatible with running a DVD? Or perhaps I should change my DMA settings to store DVD files in my computer RAM so the DVD files can be accessed by player software? Would greatly appreciate any advice, George |

| Re: DVD Player still won't run... With Window Media Player you need an mpeg2 decoder to play DVD. One of these free ones should work with WMP or the freeware Media Player Classic http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...EG_2_Codec.htm http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=105790 Or maybe DScaler http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=123423

| Re: DVD Player still won't run... Does powerDVD 4.0 even work with XP SP2? try a trial version of 5.0 and if it works then you need to upgrade.
