I have a new system with Win XP pro sp2, Lg 4167 Multi DVD burner. It all
works well except when I put a DVD movie in and load a palyer ( Media paley
10, or Power DVD, the programs tries to load the movie but locks up. I can
see the files on the drive in My Computer but thats it. What am i missing
some video codecs? or what?

Any help would be appreciated.........Thanks

Inserting a DVD should launch an AutoPlay feature and PowerDVD should launch
automatically and play your DVD. Do you have all the updates for PowerDVD?

But it's not only PowerDVD that fails so does Media Player and Nero Player.
Non of them will load the movie. When they try to they lock up. Could it be
another player that is conflicting? I think there was a player that came with
the Leadtek Px6800 THD video card, likely a Nvidia player.

Thanks
