Lost DVD Decoder

[Ace]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Just upgraded from WinME to WinXPPro. Everything is great,
except the DVD Decoder disappeared. I am running an older
ATI card (Radeon 7200 DDR 64). I will have to buy a disc
from ATI unless someone has a better suggestion. Is there
some other way to get a DVD Decoder that will work with my
ATI card and software ?

Thanks for any replies !

You'll need to reinstall your DVD decoding software..... usually PowerDVD or
WinDVD but whichever came with your PC.

Cari, this card has hardware decoding capabilities, so software decoders is
not required.

Original poster: just update your graphics card drvier from ATI, the built
in drivers that come with xp dont support all features of the card.

The ati dvd player for your card can be dowloaded free from ati support
site:
