Oh I see - I thought you'd posted in the wrong thread. I've given up on here now, as hardly anyone will reply
so I've found a couple of other forums. Unfortunately I've not really sorted mine out, its almost there though Good luck with yours though
I have given up !! I am now trying to figure out why I'm not pingable...even though I have set the echoes...stupid broadband...lolsnow_fairy said:Oh I see - I thought you'd posted in the wrong thread. I've given up on here now, as hardly anyone will reply

Are you behind a firewall or router? Do you have a fixed IP adr or does it change?sixt9ers said:
The XP firewall is a bit pants, only blocks incoming packets
I would recommend the free Kerio 2.15 www.kerio.com or if U want a simpler 1, the free version of zonealarm www.zonelabs.com
Also try callin Ur ISP support line, cause if U on broadband, Ur IP should be static

hi,
I just had the same poblem you had with your dvd. I was getting the same error message. I fixed it by reinstalling powerdvd. Also, i think i know what causes this problem. yesterday i installed kazaalite!!! and before that everything was fine. you said that you installed kazaalite too, so i think we have a winner...

I sorted out mine a while ago now, but I spke to someone on another computer forum, and he guided me through it step by step.
There was a file which kazaaa had kindly put on my puter, which disabled my dvd settings
once I got rid of kazaa, and all the files it installs, I had to reset all my audio settings again, now I've got dolby 5.1 on my puter and my dvds & cds have never sounded better I actually downloaded very few songs as I prefere to buy cds, so its no big deal to me getting rid of kazaa
Do you remember what the file was? Or the forum you used?snow_fairy said:

Yep sure - am I allowed to post links here? Well here it is anyway - if I'm not allowed, sowwy and I'll delete it
http://www.guru3d.com/forum/index.php?s=
They were really helpful there
I had it sorted in a few hours - not that the dudes here dont know thier stuff but its nice to have more options.The file was called AVIPreview.exe - I got rid of this myself, when kazaaa was uninstalled it left it behind - along with tons of other crap
- after that I re did my audio settings and it was better than ever So I take it your still having dvd problems then??? well if so, good luck
Thanks for that Snow Fairy...I have taken a look at the thread in the other forum....seleted the avi file...still won't play...so looks like I will have to delete kazaalite...!!
I will try that and see if it works then...should imagine it will...
BTW...have you sorted out your sound problem??

@sixt9ers if you are viewing an AVI file it may be a DIVX compressed avi as that is the common extension of a DIVX file
check the avi for what codecs has been used with "GSPOT" search and download it using google to locate
then install the codecs it says you need to view the file (note and only the codecs it suggests as many of the packs such as NIMO etc can often cause more headaches than they cure )
then try viewing the avi again in whatever player you are using

But...I downloaded GSPOT...it says I have 52 video codecs and 40 audio...is this normal?!!
woaaaaaaah that could be a problem with a lot of your video problems bleh !?

im sure CM will tell you all you need to know and what to get rid of

Aside from the Microsoft codecs, here are the ones that I have installed which I consider essential:
Video
-----
Indeo 5.10
Intervideo Video Encoder/Decoder
MPEG1 Video Decoder
DIVX 5.05
XVID MPEG4
Nero Video Decoder
Indeo Raw
Audio
-----
Indeo Audio
Fraunhofer MPEG Layer 3
Intervideo Audio Encoder/Decoder
Ligos MPEG Splitter
Nero Digital Audio Decoder
Please understand, these are meant to represent the minimum codec set necessary to supplement the Microsoft codecs. I currently have 59 video codecs and 47 audio codecs installed. However, they do not clash.
