SuperG 0 Posted November 19, 2000 Hey... Peice of crap. Everytime I try to run a dvd on win2k with my msi mobo ( via chipset) with 5.1 sound w/ my creative dxr-3 decoder card my computer freezes. NOW everytime I run the proram I get a kernel error and a big fat memory dump. Fun stuff. usually it just crashes as soon as the decoder kicks in with sound. It gets all jumpy... like its sucking processor mega and then it freezes. what am i to do? we all know writing the manufacturer and begging for drivers for win2k is fruitless... Sys Specs should be below. -Kris ------------------ System Specs: MSI 694D Pro-A Mobo Dual Gighz pentium III's 320 meg pc 133 sdram 30 Gig Maxtor Ata-100 Geforce 2 GTS DVD w/ Decoder Card Sblive etc etc...

clutch 1 Posted November 19, 2000 Nahhh, I just think that nobody can afford a rig likes yours to have that problem... I am new to non-Intel chipsets, and I don't have hardware DVD-Decoding either. But, I do feel sorry for u (if that helps). ------------------ Regards, clutch Share this post Link to post

Down8 0 Posted November 19, 2000 I've seen softawre decoding work better than hardware decoding in the past, and with your system, eating up the processor shouldn't be a problem, so try a good software decoder. -bZj Share this post Link to post
JediBaron 0 Posted November 19, 2000 Are you just using the Creative beta drivers with my registry fix? I used that for a long time and everything ran perfect. I do know that you can't have the card in slot 1 though (the one next to the AGP) cause the dxr3 hates sharing with the video card. I eventually removed the hardware decoder because I ran out of slots I'm now just using PowerDVD 2.55. It's not as fast as the dxr3, but I can now capture screens off of my movies which rocks. And besides, with 900Mhz on the old processor, I'm not to concerned about not having the cycles to handle decoding. PS. 95% of all Win2k hardware problems come from the damn SB Live card. If all else fails that's where you look. Share this post Link to post
SuperG 0 Posted November 20, 2000 I just got this so I didnt really know about any registry fix. -Super Share this post Link to post

It wasn't necessary for me to first install the NT4 drivers. ------------------ "Being married to a programmer is like owning a cat.

JediBaron 0 Posted November 20, 2000 The application (the player) won't load in without the registry entries in the NT4 install. Share this post Link to post
PatkIllA 0 Posted November 20, 2000 I've got a Hollywood Plus and it works fine for me and the only way to get AC3/dts Sound in Win2k or does anyone know a SoundCard which support AC3 pass-through and works flawlessly on a SMP-Machine Share this post Link to post
