I had same prob. as rayden54 with power dvd dx. read his threads+replys, followed advice given, uninstalled dvd dx.wmp wont now play dvd's(cd's ok)1st said i need codec. Now wmp just goes off after about 2 secs. tried to down load mpc+vlc but doesent install.I have vista basic+novice with computers
I hate those "death screens"!!! I had one a couple of weeks ago after installin/un-installing crap and trying to system restore it. Windows wouldn't boot!
I had to boot up with the Windows CD and do some fixing!
i tried vista cd with black screen but nothing works. managed to use restore, but haven't shutdown, put to sleep when not in use, it's ok when come to use again.going to shutdown overnight an see what like am.untill i get it sorted not d/loading anything,no point if pc wont boot.
