PowerDVD/XP Home Reboot issue

[Trout]

Hi,,,
Got a head scratcher going here.

AMD 2700XP Thurobred 333bus
kingston pc 2700/333/512 meg
soyo K7VME w/onboard junk
sony cdrw
sony dvd
80g wd 7200 rpm
XP Home SP1 oem
power dvd bundled with drive

EVERYTHING works PERFECT EXCEPT power DVD,
I Open The Program,, It Opens Fine,,But By default it selects drice "D" as the default drive,, When I Click The Tools button on the power DVD interface to change default drive To "E",,, BANG BSOD~!

Code On Bluescreen is as follows:

***Stop: 0xC0000005,0XF9BDE4D6,0xF3F93610,0x00000000)
VIDEOPRT.SYS-ADDRESS F9BDE base at F9BD9000,Datestamp 3d6ddc03
Memory Dump Yada Yada

These componets are all brand new,, And like i mentioned,EVERYTHING else seems to be working GREAT,,, Just That one weird issue

This is happening to me, too.

WinXP Pro w/ SP1
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton, 333
unknown RAM brand - 2700, 333, 512 MB
SOYO K7VMP2 w/ onboard audio, video, LAN, etc
NEC DVD-RW model ND-2500A
Quantum Fireball 60 GB
PowerDVD 4.0.0.2417 (lastest build, patched from www.gocyberlink.com)

I don't get a blue screen (STOP) message. Mine goes straight to POST/BIOS screen.

This was happening before I patched PowerDVD.

Tried updating audio/video/etc drivers from Windows Update, as well as from SOYO's Web site.

Replaced IDE cable with a brand new one.

I have all latest Windows Updates, except for a couple like Windows Media 9.

Booted to a CD and ran a RAM test...checks out okay.

Everything else works fine. I am able to rip and burn CDs and DVDs just fine.

DVDs play fine in Windows Media Player. Of course, it sucks compared to PowerDVDs functionality.

I recomment starting a new thread, and not adding to one that was solved.
That being said, try removing PowerDVD completely and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, start a new thread with all of YOUR problem details.
