I have gone to great lengthes to get my creative to work on build 2031. I finally got my new drivers everything installed fine, but now i get this message when I try to play a movie: Analog copy protection violation: Windows cannot play this copy-protected disc because it cannot verify that the video outputs on your DVD and/or VGA cards support copy protection. Possible causes: (1)One of the drivers (DVD or VGA) does not fully support the adapters capabilities, in which cas installing an updated driver may help; (2)The hardware does not support copy protection. You may be able to get around the problem by unplugging any cables connected to the video outputs on your computer. Otherwise please contact your system manufacturer. Does anyone know what in the world this means..im running a creative tnt2 value vid card with a 5x dxr2 dvd drive....cant figure it out..wont even let me play movies on my puter

I may be having hell with my dvd dxr2, but, Quake3 is really smoothe under win2k. My pings are better and game vid is smoother. the curved textures are awesome.

THE CREATIVE DRIVERS ARE BASED ON DETONATOR 2.08 DRIVERS....BUT YES I HAVE ALL THE TWEAK PROPERTIES AND HAVE FULL CONTROL OF MY VID CARD...AS A MATTER OF FACT QUAKE 3 AND KINGPIN LOOK MUCH BETTER IN WIN2K...IM NOT A REAL TECHY TYPE OF GUY...I BUILD GAMING MACHINES AND GOT WIN2K TO GET AHEAD OF THE GAME...ILL LOOK AND SEE WHICH VERSION OF THE DETONATOR DRIVERS I HAVE ON MY WIFES MACHINE...I MIGHT STILL HAVE EM FROM AN EARLIER DOWNLOAD

WHAT DRIVERS ARE YOU USING FOR THE TNT2 BASED CARD? CREATIVE IS KNOWN FOR MAKING SLOWER HARDWARE BUT SUPPORT IT WITH EXCELLENT DRIVERS. DIAMOND MM IS THE OPPOSITE. THEY MAKE HIGHER PERFORMING HARDWARE BUT SUPPORT IT WITH CRAPPY DRIVERS. THE BEST THING TO DO IS GET THE DETONATOR 2.08 DRIVERS FROM NVIDIA....THATS WHAT THE CREATIVE DRIVERS ARE BASED ON. BUT ALL IVE GOTTEN TO WORK REALLY WELL ARE QUAKE ENGINE BASED GAMES. QUAKE2, QUAKE3, SIN, HALFLIFE, AND KINGPIN. UNREAL, SHOGO, AND OTHER GAMES THAT ARE BASED ON OTHER TECHNOLOGY I HAVENT GOTTEN TO WORK VERY WELL.

nope, disconnecting didnt help...still the same message. I think it must have something to do with the vid card. hell dont know. the strange thing is it worked with win98 SE. I could record to vhs no prob. I really dont consider that piracy. Its my dvd and if i choose to copy it to vhs for later viewing thats my biz its my dvd....lol.

quake2, quake3, halflife, sin, and kingpin all work perfect on my win2k machine....look a lot better in fact. im running a creative tnt2 value {the value is a beta card that creative has released, kinda like the sb live value}. on the other hand though i cant get shogo, unreal, and some other games to work. it seems that anygames that i have based on the quake2 or quake3 engines work excellent.

well it was connected to my home entertainment sys. but i disconnected it and yes i was recording my dvd's to vhs just so i could watch the movie's when my puter was being used. Could the card be defective? considering i was making copies to vhs and they looked perfect with win98...
