Hi dcxman,
I had a similar problem with HW+ when office 2k is installed. The problem is with a file called ctfmon.exe , which runs in the background. If u open task manager and end task on it , then run DVD station again it should now work.
You will have to to fill ctfmon.exe after every use of Office or a reboot , 'cause ctfmon.exe reappears!!!!
Hope this helps
