WinDVD reboots the PC?

[paul_h_amiga 0]

I recently installed WinDVD from the Sound Blaster Live! CD that comes with the sound card upon my win2000 system. Every time I use the program it comes up with the message about Macrovison protected stuff, so i click OK, and then it reboots the PC!!!

 

I tried altering some stuff in system properties, which stops the pc from rebooting on a system crash, and it does show a screen with caused error so and so.

 

The system I use has 192MB of RAM, Geforce 2 GTS, Win 2000 with SP1 installed (SP1 can be removed at this point.)Sound Blaster Live! 1024 card, 10GB hard drive, Creative 5XDVD Drive and a Philips CD-Rewriter.

 

Can Anyone suggest some thing to remedy this?

I have version 6.34 from Hercules'web site, i am not using the detonator drivers from Nvidia. Should I use the 6.31 drivers instead?

I have tried uninstalling Service Pack 1, reinstalled the video drivers, checked the drives, and still it comes up with the system error...
