New NVidia drivers corrupt DVD playback

I installed the newest NVidia drivers for XP (v29.42) and it caused PowerDVD 4.0 XP to have corrupted playback of DVDs with the hardware acceleration turned on.

If I turned off the hardware acceleration and the picture is fine, although it's a little bit choppy at times.

I then I rolled back to the previous drivers and everything worked fine with hardware acceleration turned on. Thank goodness for the recovery feature of Xp. I'm just glad I actual created a restore point just before I installed the new drivers (I make it a habit to do so).

My system is as follows:

AMD Duron 1000
640MB RAM
Geforce2 MX2 400 64MB
Windows XP
PowerDVD 4.0 XP

I have all the latest patches to XP and my drivers, but the newest NVidia drivers cause problems.

Anyone else experience this? I don't know if it's the video driver or PowerDVD.

Thanks!
 
I was think about installing these drivers but I use PowerDVD alot. Is anyone else having this problem? :confused:
 
I installed the new drivers and Power DVD XP works fine for me...So i haven't a clue why its messing yours up.
 
PowerDVD's DVD Hardware Accel is only for when the DVD is paused/stopped isn't it?

29.42's have absolutely no effect on my DVD Playback.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
