268737 2004-09-10 07:58:00 True, but its only CPU Usage....

End of the day - I ran the 350Mhz on Win98....
Ive seen WinXP run DVD's on a 500Mhz with no issues :-/

the trial version should enable UDMA for you, then after un-installing UDMA should still be enabled, as far as i remember

268740 2004-09-10 13:14:00 heres another suggestion. try installing ffdshow which is a video filter . dr google will provide a download link. install it and then in the configuration under codecs . make sure mpeg2 is enabled. reboot and then give that a go.

268743 2004-09-11 11:22:00 Another thing is, what else is your DVD connected to?? It isn't on the same IDE connection as a hard drive is it??

I spose a cd or DVD, if theyre on the same ide connection as a hdd could cause this?

268744 2004-09-11 23:21:00 What is the screen resolution set to?

The first machine I had a dvd rom drive in was a 500mhz win98 box with onboard video using 8mb for video of the systems total 64mb ram.

that machine was usually used at 800x600 but had to be turned down to 640x480 at 16bit with nothing else running for ok playback.
