I have a computer that I just built. It has Windows XP Pro, I put Windows Media 9 on it. Instealld Office XP as well. Other than that I didn't install anything out of the ordinary.

It's a really good machine..2700+, 512mb 333, and a 128mb GeforceFX 5200. Every time the person tries to play a DVD, it comes back up and says "low video resources.. try lowering the resolution and try again". It says that even at 800x600 with 16bit color. I had this happen before on my 9700Pro and the only thing I did that fixed it was reformat my computer. I don't want to have to do this, so does anyone know a fix for this? It's not only Windows Media Player either, it's any DVD software.

I apologize if this is a repost. Thank you for any help that you offer.
