Is there any chance of getting XP certified drivers for the Creative Dxr3
DVD decoder card?

My AWE64 is compatible with XP - why isn't this newer more expensive card?

Thanks

Terry

If Creative was trying to break into the computer market today, they would
fall flat on their butts. They are saved by the fact that they pretty much
have a lock on the PC soundcard industry. They are pathetically slow when it
comes to bringing out drivers.....and apparently they see no reason to
change. I currently own 2 Creative products...a Soundblaster Live and a Dxr3
card...and it (Dxr3) just stopped working when I changed my video card from
a Matrox G400 to an Asus GeForce3 Ti 200 card...my solution??...the Dxr3
card now resides in a drawer...Will I ever buy another Creative product
other than sound???.....not a chance in hell!!

Don't hold your breath.....

Hi,

I have tried the DXR3-card with the HollywoodPlus drivers from
www.sigmadesigns.com and they are working good, but there is an but.

On my system when i boot there is often an stop error with the text "BAD
POOL CALLER".

This is done by the driver but when you reboot and start windows again
normaly then most of the time the error does not re-appear and windows
starts normaly.

Then you can run the applycation Realmagic Hollywood Plus an you can show
DVD's and other CD's/Files.

Try them but fist make an system restore point for the case you cant startup
again (then go to Safe-mode and restore your system!)

Please let me know how it works on your machine...

Greeting
Roche Schutten
