With the toshiba tecra 9100 notebook and windows xp Professionl.
Problem is when I install WinDVD manually we get the error "Create Overlay failed. Please lower your screen resolution or the color depth and try again.", it doesn't matter what resolution we use it doesn't work.
Any help on this issue would be great.

How much video memory do you have?

My first thought is that you do not have enough memory dedicated to the video adapter.

I suggest that you enter setup, and see if you can increase the memory dedicated to video use.

Have found the answer to my problem. These notebooks had Proxy host installed. It is a known problem and Funk have advised that this will be fixed in next version due end of June.
If the proxy host service is disabled I can now play DVD's.
