Well I ran into a bit of a problem,
I am hoping someone has had a simular
type of error or info in this area. I
installed 3 different decoder software
tools for my Soundblaster Creative labs
DVD2240E player, MK4145 Model. When I
go to play a DVD movie it says
unrecognizable format can not read.
It then prompts me saying I have the
wrong Direct X video or DVD drivers.
Well I have updated to direct X 8 and
still same problem. I tried finding an
updated driver from creative labs, but
it says my system has a more current
driver. So I pulled an old DVD, selected
files and ran the DVD decoder program
worked fine, tried switching back to
play from Disc, no go. I wouldn't mind
doing that selecting files everytime I
want to watcha movie but the problem is
when it comes to newer movies they are
copy protected and won't allow this. I
know there is ways around this but all
I want is to beable to play it from Disc
any help or advice?

direct X 8 had a few bugs in it, so get Direct X 8a and install that. As to fixing the other problems I would get another DVD player which is more up to date.
