Any player other then Windvd 2000 v2.3, no matter WHAT resolution/color
depth windows is set to, consistently tells me to lower my resolution/color
depth (or 'Create Overlay Failed'). I've even tried lowering my refresh
rate--nothing seems to make a difference. Sometimes I can hear the movie,
but just cant see it. I have tried Creative Labs' video drivers, and I have
tried Nvidia's, neither make a bit of difference (Creative Labs' drivers are
6.34, Nvidia's are 12.41 and WHQL certified).

So far, the only DVD player I can get to work is Windvd 2000 v2.3--and very
sparatically at that. Often times I can see no picture, and hear REALLY
choppy sound. To fix this I have to actually remove the DVD from the drive,
reinstert it, and restart the player. When it works, it works fine, but I am
limited to only a 5 minute trial and I'm not going to pay for it until I am
certain nothing else will work.

Could someone please tell me just what is going on here? Thanks =)
