yeh, shud have said, im just runnin XP, not XP64 basically, the problem I have is playback just doesnt happen, you can hear it, just no picture on the video screen, just black. Now if you move the mouse of it it flashes and you can see the film under it for a split second. Also, when I patch it, and press stop on playback, still with no image, it crashes. it would probably work fine without the patch if i can just get the video out! lol And i fully uninstalled DVD XP, and removed any registry entires it left.
