Ati DVD and WinXP problems!

[jollyballs]

Is anyone else having a problem with the Ati DVD player in WinXP? Every time I try to play a DVD I get a message telling me that either there is a problem with the display overlay, the sound device is already in use or there is not enough video memory.

i had win xp and nvidia geforce 2 gtspro and had problems with the dvd too, (also flash videos). i try 3 diferents softwares (powerdvd, windvd, and windows mediaplayer)all of them when the movie play, they seems stupidly choppy i couldnt fix it so i saldly had to switch to win 98 se. Before that i thougt it was a hardware problem but on 98 works perfect (including flash videos). i did everything to fix the problem but nothing solve it. i have a pionnier 16x dvd rom. What dvd rom you have???

I'm not going to get in this "software/hardware" issue. If you're talking about the all-in-wonder Radeon with the ATI DVD player software, I've been having the exact same problems running under WinXPpro. Works fine in Win98se though.

If anyone has a fix, fill us in.


Thanks.

I don't have any problems at all using ATi with Ati Multimedia player under Win XP. I think if you have overlay issue then you should check the video card driver not the ATi multimedia player.

Intstall the program and then use windows media player to play the DVDs. Thats how I got mine to play.

I had problems with my AIW & XP on my everyday login, it worked fine as an administrator. I fixed the problem by completely removing all traces of the multimedia center from both logins, then adding admistrator rights to my everyday login and installing ATI multimedia center from my everyday login, then I removed administrator rights from my everyday login.

Worked like a champ, no more display problems or resource problems.
