I have had my PC for well over 2 years now and I have a DVD-ROM that has
worked great until now.  Now when I try to play a DVD there is an error and
the DVD software shuts off, it says something about the curretn hardware
configuration not supporting Macrovision.

If I restart the PC in a new color setting (i.e. 24bit) then, as soon as the
PC boots, run the DVD it works fine.  Does anyone know what this is and how
I can fix it?

Thanks
K1ng
