Cinemaster Decoder Card - 12/26/99 01:22 AM

Hello,

Has anyone any help on getting a Cinemaster Decoder card to work?

Win2k 2195 detects it as Cinemaster C WDM Main Driver and Cinemaster C WDM DVD Driver.

When I go to run the Win2k DVD Player, the following error comes up:

While setting up DVD-video playback, it was found that Video cannot be shown on the computer monitor because of one of the following reasons:
a) Low video memory. Please try using a lower resolution and/or colors.
b) Another application is currently using the necessary display resources.
c) The display driver is incompatible with the DVD Decoder. Obtain a driver update.


If I click Yes to continue, all that I get is sound. This set-up works fine in Win98. Other info is that the graphics card is a 16MB TNT, and Aureal Vortex2 sound card.

This error occurs with the stock display drivers and the 3.53 drivers.

What color depth is your desktop in?....switch to 24 or 16 and try it out. I know i can't watch DVD's in 32bit color on the desktop.
