Al;
I tried the evaluation version of the NVidea decoder. I now see the NVidea
icon come up in the system tray each time I watch a DVD, but I still get this
error on some DVDs (like Star Wars Phantom Menace). I see by double clicking
on the NVidea Icon there are several settings. Do you know if it is a
setting issue? Should I contact NVidea?
