WoooHooo!!! Got the bastard. Ok. So it was definitely a DMA problem, and once I killed the one IDE driver, and restarted it was detected in DMA no problem, instead of the PIO it was stuck in before. If it ever drops down modes in the future I'll use those reg hacks to force it to stay in DMA. DJ, th...

Each Primary and Secondary will support 2 drives or 4 drives total. Agreed. But for both the Primary and Secondary there are two drivers appearing in the device manager (2 called primary, and 2 called secondary). I find this odd as I seem to remember only ever seeing one for the primary, and one fo...

Ok, I went into device manager to check what mode my drive is running in DMA/PIO, and noticed something which I find quite strange (I have a screenshot but I don't see any way to post it here). Anyway, for both the Primary and Secondary IDE channels there appears to be two drivers for each, does tha...

Ok, I ripped the DVD to disc and played the .vob files with VLC. They play absolutely fine. The video and sound was perfect and the CPU usage didn't go above 1%. So now I'm really stumped. Why would it just stop working from the DVD player all of a sudden?? I've reinstalled the chipset drivers, so t...

Preferably use the drivers supplied on the CD that came with your motherboard or obtain a (perhaps) a newer driver from the manufacture of the motherboard for your model. The same thing would be true if you purchased a system. The driver should be available from the manufacture of the computer for ...

Hey guys, I'd like to try coping the DVD content, but it doesn't seem to like doing it, what's a good DVD rip Program?? Also, I'm a little leery of "other chipset drivers". Why wouldn't those that are supplied by my mobo manufacturer work, and more importantly, where would I actually find ...

I think this thread could possibly help you:

Sorry if you already answered this - Did you check with another DVD program that your computer reads DVDs correctly without VLC? Because if not, maybe the fault is on the DVD drive... Hey, good suggestion! I don't have any other software that can play DVD's on this comp (WMP can't either), so I dl'...

You are missing the AGP or PCIe driver for your motherboards chip set to make video acceleration work. I don't care if the chip set is on the motherboard it still needs the driver. FYI You have proved that the driver is missing or corrupted in the tests you did as there is no other explanation. Ok,...

Settings => Preferences => Video => Output modules and here you select "Advanced Options" and afterwards you must see the configuration box for "Video output module". Maybe you have here a "bad" module and you should try another one, perhaps the direct X or opengl etc....

Wow your computer must be old! Even my real old AMD 500 used an AGP video card. 1. Run the DirectX diagnostics. It will tell you if it's working or not. 2. Try playing a commercial DVD using VLC and note the CPU usage. Post that here. Actually this system is brand new :P Too bad it's bare bones wit...

There have been 2 things going around lately, (like a flue or cold) this one comes from Peer to peer networks . It's the mysterious loss of your AGP or PCIe driver and or the loss of parts of DirectX. I've never used this computer for any P2P operations, nor have I dl'd or installed any new program...

Hi, sorry I thought I had posted that in my original msg. I also tried deleting the preferences folder in the app data directory. I'll try the dvdcss folder as well. To me this seems more like something is corrupted?? Thanks for the replies. *Edit* I just tried deleting both the vlc and dvdcss folde...

Hi All, I've searched the forums for a bit, but so far haven't seen a problem like mine, so here it is. I use ViedoLAN to watch DVD movies, and normally everything works normally. A couple of weeks ago I had just finished watching a DVD and put a new one in to watch. However, both the sound and pict...
