I can't get a DVD player to work on my crappy computer. It's an Athlon 1800 system on a KT333 motherboard (a Gigabyte 7rvx or something). I've loaded Windows XP Professional, but it was the upgrade version so I had to load windows 98 first. I shoulda checked to see if the DVD player worked in 98 but I didn't. Anyway, whenever I put a CD in, it first never runs the autorun file and it second gives me an error "Part of the readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory could not be completed" (or something like that) if I click on an executable file, such as the setup file for a game. I can browse the CD, but that's all. Sometimes the player icon in My Computer will be a generic icon and sometimes it will be the icon for the game. I have a second DVD player (this one is a Sony, the above DVD player is a Pacific Digital) that does the same shit except when I try to run an executable it tells me that "[whatever program] is not a valid win32 application."
Any thoughts? It's just killing me that I can't get this to work. I should mention that I was able to install both windows 98 and then windows XP using the Pacific Digital DVD player. So I suppose it has something to do with the OS.
A couple of questions please, and if they are already answered please be patient as I am coming off an insane workweek:
Both DVD players, do they read CD-ROM just fine? is the problem only ocurring when trying to access data off of DVDs.?
In XP's Device manager are both or either DVD-ROMs being identified correctly, or are they generic CD-Devices?
If you are trying to pull data off DVDs, are they burned DVD-ROMs/DVD+ROMs because that matters when it shouldn't. Can you read Data off of Commercial DVDs at all? How many have you tried.
Kick me because you already know this; WinXP/Mediawhore 7/8/9 Provides no DVD movie decoding, only the ability to Use/hook-into a Decoder that you provide. So if it is movies in question here. there is that, no I'm not calling you an idiot.
It might be the OS, But that is a odd manifestation of a quirky install unless you are having other P&P hardware problems. run down that checklist and see if anything is flagged. Also get ME off your other computer before it gives everyone cancer, Win2K is easily "obtainable" and a better game OS.
