I installed an X800XT AIW a few weeks ago. Because I've always played
DVD's on my PC using "PowerDVD" (Version 2.5), I didn't install the DVD
module of ATI's MMC software at the time (fearing a system conflict of
some sort).
Yesterday was the first time since the AIW installation that I tried
playing a DVD, and it didn't work. Here are the symptoms:
a) First of all, the DVD won't startup PowerDVD after it's inserted
into the drive. Instead, I get a listing of the files on the DVD.
b)When I start up PowerDVD manually, and try to play the DVD, I get a
pop-up windows that says "Copyright Announcement" saying that the disc
is copyrighted and won'y play in FILE mode.
I know that the disc is copyrighted - most feature films are. Note that
I'm trying to play the ORIGINAL DVD, not a copy. And the same DVD's
play fine in my living room DVD player. The problem is only with PowerDVD.
I figure that there must either be a Windows setting or a PowerDVD
setting that got hosed. BTW, I'm running WindowsXP Pro SP1.
Can anyone tell me how I get PowerDVD to work properly again? Or, short
of that, can I install ATI's DVD module separately (without doing the
entire AIW install over again) as a last resort? (I'd prefer to get
Power DVD working, though....)
Thanks!
