PowerDVD doesnt work in winXP but WinDVD works?

[scorpiots]

hi everyone. I have the latest version of Power DVD 4.0 and its suppose to be compatible for XP. what happens is that I'm getting chunky block graphics with wrong colors in them. this PowerDVD 4 works in Windows ME. so I was wondering if anyone know there is xp patch for this.

also mine winDVD 3 works in XP.

thanks for everyone's input

sounds like a video acceleration issue. Be sure you have the latest vid drivers, and possibly try unchecking 'use hardware acceleration' in the powerDVD video options. I know hardware acceleration doesn't work correctly with ATI cards at this point. WinDVD may work because it's not using video acceleration.

I use ver 3.0 on xp and it works fine. I would uninstall all sw dvd stuff and just try installing power dvd alone and see what happens.

Download the patch. PowerDVD 3.0 works fine though.

I have used PowerDVD 3.0 and 4.0 no problem on several Win XP systems.

its working NOW! I replaced the video card w/ DVD encoder and powerDVD works in XP.

thanks everyone

Sounds weired. But PowerDVD deos work for XP. I am running the same version as you (i.e XP) and one of my friends is running version 2.x and we are both fine. Did you try update your video driver?
