win2k and movies...

[shawn_16]

Every movie except realplayer movies make win2k reboot
any ideas on how to solve it? Win98 has no problems w/movies...

my system:
celery 566@850 1.85v
Abit BE6
Viking PC133 128 meg
Soundblaster Live Value
rage fury pro
Intel nic
tdk velocd 8/4/32
sony 6x dvd drive
floppy
maxtor 20 gig 7200rpm
compusa 300w

I have the latest drivers for all of them and currently using dx8 but the same thing happened w/dx7

Sounds like a problem with the overlay functionality of your video drivers. Try changing colour depths before playing movies (i.e. from 32-bit to 16-bit or vice versa). Other than that, I'm not quite sure what it could be.
