I was trying to avoid continually updating MMC cuz everytime something else
broke.
All was OK for months with MMC 8.1 and other video players.

Didnt think MMC would be an issue when other players are used expecially
since I haven't added any video drivers in months. But will have to bit the
bullet and try going to MMC 8.7 if all else fails. Just a gut feel it's not
the MMC since I only use for capture, not playback.

Well, mmc8.1 is now up to version 8.7 and you also have to have windows
media encoder and dao 8.1.0.0 loaded before mmc8.7

PC does hard reboot right after DVD's play, within 3 seconds. Doesn't
matter if its Windows Media Player, Interactual, Intervideo playeretc.
I do
have MMC 8.1 and know the DVD player won't work since it was upgraded
from
MMC 7.7 but for life of me can't figure out why no other player will
work
now. Was pretty happy for longest time.
Have latest Directx9upgrade from MS.

Not a drive problem, two different drives and both have same problem
I can play MPEG2 movied off hard drive.

Have 8500DV, P4 1.8, 512K, and about 40gb of free HD.

Any suggestions appreciated.
TIA
