xp-pro problem

[andrewh13]

Hi,

Since upgrading from ME to XP my dvd player (MGI Pure Diva) no longer works. Windows Media Player requires 'a compatible DVD decoder' but I do not wish to pay for what I already had.

I downloaded Zoom Player which I thought would solve this but again received 'failed cause WNASPI32.dll not located'. I realise now this is just a front end.

Can anybody be of assistance?

Has everybody who has upgraded to XP had to purchase an add-on such as PowerDVD? Is there no freeware decoder available?

Thanks, Andrew H

on xp dvd playback is suspect

on EVERYPAGE ive been too ive seen problems with xp and dvd those two just dont go good toggether but if u are looking for the aspi interface thinge that only works with suzzy drives but with xp i dunno, try it on another os and see what happens, and word of the wise dont ever get an os when it first comes out think back

win95(version a & version B)=2 diffrent verisons cause the first was crappy

win98(1st and snd edition)= 2 diffrent verisons cause the first was crappy

windows 2000 (serivce pack this service pack upgrade that)- servive pack updates out the ass

windows ME- dont even get me started - cant sneeze without the blasted thing crashing

xp = perfect the first time after all the other failures - hell no
