    PowerDVD 5 Playback Problems

    Hi there,

    I have some serious issues with PowerDVD 5. I've searched nearly the whole net, but have found no solution so far...

    When I try to playback a DVD, playback hangs, the whole system indeed hangs, I have no choice but to terminate PowerDVD using the task manager...

    The funny thing is, PowerDVD 4 works fine. Recently I had to set up my system anew, here is what I did:

    Install Win 2000 + all Service Packs and Updates
    Install DirectX 9.0c
    latest Detonator driver for my Geforce 5700
    PowerDVD 5 plus Update

    I am not using a sepaate sound card, but the onboard sound of my Leadtek Winfast mainboard, connection is with a optical cable directly to my amp. Driver is up2date.

    Still, the exact same problem. So I uninstalled PowerDVD 5 and tried again with PowerDVD 4 --> no problem at all...

    I am wondering now, is it possible that I have to install something additionally (codecs etc.)?

    Does anybody have a clue?

    Have you checked at the PowerDVD website to see if there are any conflicts/fixes related to SP2?

      I just registered with them last night and now hope to find some clues on their site...

      OS is Win 2000 SP4, so there shouldn't be any XP2 issues...
