Windows 2000 was telling me that some system files were replaced by an unknown version when I installed the DVD player that came with the ATI RADEON with VIVO card. Windows 2000 is asking me to place the original Windows 2000 CD so that it can reinstall the replaced files.

Should I let Windows to do that or should I cancel and ignore this error? After all, I'm trying to install the DVD player that came with the new card.

Has anyone encounter this message?

Any ideas?

Well, I ignore this warning but now when DVD Player starts, it gives an error saying it failed the ATI RAGE128 IDCT Authentication Driver. It refuses to play DVD.

hmmm, I only received that message when I changed those other two files (ati2mtag.sys, d3dim700.dll) in which case, I of coarse didn't want windows to overwrite those 2 files, canceled and rebooted.

I'm not sure about the DVD install, I don't remember that coming up..sorry:(

Thanks for the reply. I uninstall then reinstall. It working now but I noticed that if I click the close button (X on the corner) while it's actively playing DVD, I get a violation & the program gets terminated.

I'll run tests on the capturing & MPEG-2 recording tomorrow.

That sounds like trouble I'm afraid. Did you have MMC installed with your old AIW pro, and did you clean the registry before installing the new card?

I removed all ATI & AIW related entries in the register before I installed the card. If I stop DVD playback before I close the window, then there's no error. But if I close the window while it's playing, it generates an error.

I had nothing but problems with the ATI DVD player under win98 se. The player decoded the DVDs terribly with some color distortion and generally poor image quality, it takes up more CPU time than other DVD software and it will not properly pass along AC-3 audio to the spdif port on my sb live! 5.1. I would recomend powerDVD as it works great.
