Power DVD XP 4.0 & WinXP problems...

[JokerJKNY]

anyone using this combo?

seems like my it doesnt wanna run together. Power DVD just sits there, and the config menu only makes an error. funny thing is Windows Media Player runs the DVD's just fine. Hmm.... conincidence? anyone have any ideas? dL'ed the newest update from Cyberlink too.

my specs are under my rig link. thanks all.

I am running PowerDVD 4.0 on XP Home Edition on my Athlon rig (see below) with no problems. Sounds like an install problem with PowerDVD. If you just used the latest update to patch your previously installed version of PowerDVD, the original install may be bad. Try completing removing PowerDVD and reinstall from scratch.

Works perfectly for me. PowerDVD 4.0 XP, Windows XP Pro, AthlonXP 2000+, GF3.

It also happens to me 3 out of 5 times running PowerDVD4.0 under WinXP Pro. Take a look at the Tast Manager when that happens, and see if TM says PowerDVD is "Unresponding". Also see if the harddriver indicator light on the case is continuously on.

I'm watching my Tron DVD right now in PowerDVD 4/XP Pro.

For all of you having problems, Try WinDVD...Much better software IMHO, in XP.

WinDVD wouldn't even work at all under XP for me.

Really, I have both and WinDVD is what i use the most, though both of them work fine on my system.
