Re: DVD Playback

Which version of WinDVD? On my MCE I ran with WinDVD v6 until v7 came out
and it seemed quite happy with both (although I don't think I had them
installed simultaneously). Do you have the latest version of the nVidia
graphics from www.nvidia.com?

Can you play any videos? DVDs?

I'm presuming the installation of MCE 2005 was clean... and that you
remembered the motherboard chipset utilities and drivers.

Any indications of problems in Device Manager?

Ran that program and got told the codec was compaitable with MCE but
not
with
WMP synchronisation. I checked for updates and found 1, when I tried to
install I got "catastrophic failure" now it doesn't display that codec.

Check if your version is compatible with MCE:

Just upgraded my PC and decided to install Windows XP MCE,
everything
works
fine except DVD playback. It doesn't seem to work using any program,
I
have
Cyberlink PowerDVD installed but it just crashes when I attempt to
play
DVDs
same with WMP and Real Player. MCE says there is a decoder problem.

My Specs are:
AMD Athalon 64 X2 3800+
Dual xfx GeForce 7800GT Extreme Editions
1GB DDR Ram
250GB HDD
