Total noob here.
I installed PowerDVD about a month ago and all was working fine until yesterday, now all I get is audio and no video.
I thought it might be currupt or something so I uninstalled and reinstalled it again but still no video.
PowerDVD tends to hang up when first started. When I go to the Task Manager it shows it's not responding then quickly changes to responding and it trys to work after I exit the Task Manager but all I get is a black screen with audio.

I'm running Win2K and Adaptec ASPI v4.71.2

What can I do to make this work again?

Have you installed any codecs recently?

I installed DVD X Copy XPress so I could backup a DVD-5 which worked ok but haven't installed any codecs other than the Adaptec to get PowerDVD to play the videos.

Here's my ASPI installation.


I still have audio only and no video.

How can I get this going again?

I only have WMP 7, I don't like version 9.

Are there any good free DVD players around?

I downloaded one that had spyware in it and it took me over an hour to get rid of all that garbage.

I downloaded another one from nonags named Subhash but I can't get it to play a DVD either.

That one didn't work for me either.
After installing it I got an error message with PowerDVD when I placed a DVD in the drive saying something wasn't installed right.
I uninstalled PowerDVD again but this time I used the uninstaller provided with it instead of Add/Remove programs.
After installing it again PowerDVD now works fine.

Thanks for the help.
