    can't imagine this happens too on your more advanced pc.

    this is what i got from the powerdvd site faq:

    Q: Error Code: "F6F00018" pops out during playback. What does it mean? How to resolve it?
    A :
    This problem is caused because your VGA card can not enable the overlay function. We suggest that you do the following:
    (a) Close all other applications that would use overlay (Like Windows MediaPlayer, Netmeeting, or other DVD players). Since Most display cards support only one overlay, If it is used by other applications, PowerDVD will not be able to access it.
    (b) Install the latest DirectX. If you did not know where to download DirectX, then you can visit the Microsoft Web site to download. (http://www.microsoft.com/directx). Some display drivers require the latest DirectX to work.
    (c) Please lower your screen resolution, color depth, and refresh rate. If this still does not work, we suggest that you try to upgrade your VGA card.
    (d) Visit your VGA manufactory website to update driver.

    i've done all (a) to (d). same error. frustrated.

    any help please?
