Hello,

Didn't know where to post this, sorry.  Anyway, I installed the software off
the CD, and tried to play the .VOB file on the CD with the "Creative
PlayCenter".  It worked, but was very shaky and paused every few seconds.
And I have a decent system (p2-400, 128mb, ...)

So I downloaded the newest drivers off of creative's site, and now the video
is just junk.  I always get audio though.  Where do I go from here?

Also, the one DVD game I have (Acess' Tex Murphy: Overseer) runs, but
whenever it tries to play a video I get a message saying it can't activate
the MPEG2 driver... no matter which one I select (and I have no idea what
would be the proper driver).

Thanks alot,
Dan
