Hi,

I'm new to MCE2005 and I've just setup a test install on a small partition
of my disk. I have an XP2100+ 215MB ram and a GF2. All works well apart from
when I play DVDs or movies. All I get is a black flickering screen. Playing
in MediaPlayer10 is fine.

Any ideas?

For a real setup I plan to get a ATI 9550.
