DVD Lockup

[Guest]

I built a new PC for a friend that has the following setup:
MSI KT7 Pro2A with T-Bird 1200 , 256 Ram
Elsa Gladiac 32 2MX
Pioneer DVD-115 16X EIDE
SBL Value
Windows ME

Using the DVD software that came with the card the movie locks up after a few minutes of play. The player locks up if I pause or do anthing while playing. The picture quality isgreat when it does play. The DMA setting is cheked and I see no conflicts.
Any ideas on a solution ? This is the first DVD drive I installed.

Thanks,
Sully

The many DVD installs I have run were without problems and it seems like your install went fine as well.

How does the drive operate with other disks, seems like it installed the O/S fine, right?

I would highly suspect the software, what was the name of it?

Try using a different DVD prog

I cannot recall the name of software cinamatic something.
What software do you recomend? The drive works perfect except for DVD playback.

PowerDVD is is good bet, sorry for the delay, I thought someone else might chip in on that.

System works great in games and, Internet with no problems except
DVD playback. It locks up after a few minutes.
What I tried so far:
· Loaded new bios 2.5
· Enabled DMA
· New Via driver 4.29
· Bushmaster 3.11 driver
· Switched DVD players (same problem)
· Moved SBL to each PCI slot (no luck)
· Used different video card still no luck.
· Tried Power DVD software and Cinamaster
Please can someone help me!!!!!!
I am sure someone has a similar setup. The MSI KT7 Pro2A is a highly rated motherboard in this forum. Did I make a mistake? I am counting on you people to help me out. I fell like a chump recommending this setup to a friend and can’t get it to work.

Thanks for reading.
