ATI Rage 128 Pro AIW & DVD Lockups

[Mister2]

I hope one of you can help me here...
I'm building a new system for a friend of mine and have everything working good but can't get DVD's to play. Here is the problem: When the DVD is inserted in the drive the DVD program opens and I get about 2 - 3 seconds of the intro and it locks up which results in a reboot to clear it. I am using the bundled DVD software that came with the All In Wonder and have also tried WinDVD with the same results and am wondering if something else may be causing the lock-up
This is the first DVD I have messed with and am not sure what the proper settings sould be for proper playback.
Here is the System Stats:

T-Bird 850 (Retail)
Epox 8KTA2
128M Crucial PC133
Creative 12X Ovation DVD (DMA Enabled)
ATI AIW Rage Pro 32M
SBLIVE Platinum w/Live Drive (Not 5.1)
Maxtor 30GB 7200 ATA/100
Iomega Zip 250 Internal
Yamaha 6x4x16 SCSI CD-RW
Windows 98SE

Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks

I got the same problems man.
Thought it was my drive so I traded with someone on this board.
Unfortunately it wasn't, so I'm still searching for a solution.
If I find out anything I'll let you know.

I had the same probelm a while back. my final conclusion was most of my lockups and crashes where AIW driver issues. ATI drivers have gotten better, but the older ones lack some...

try the display drivers from www.rageunderground, they may help considering that they are custom made by the sitebuilders, not ati...

good luck

Dew042 Thanks for the link. I've downloaded the files from this thread; Check it out www.rageunderground.com/ubb/Forum22/HTML/000453.html

My son let me use his DXR3 decoder which worked great, Now doing a fresh install of windows and will see if the tip from RageUnderground will work.

Will let you know
