Hrmm, the planets must be back in alignment then.    Glad to hear you have it working now.

Well... I'm back at the suck-fest where life is absolutely craptastic!

I hooked up a new monitor (not an additional one) and everything went south again.  The programs I was having trouble with before - but were better - don't work again... DVDP included.  And I'm sure it has something to do with Aero.

I checked the "Disable Desktop Composition" feature (which disables Aero when a program starts) on the Compatibility menu for another program and when I did, it ran.  While it was running (and Aero was disabled) I started DVDP and it ran as well.  To be sure I had isolated the problem, I unchecked it and tried to start both programs.  They didn;t work.

When I re-checked the box (both on the other program and on DVDP), they still didn't work.  Any new ideas??

Vista is way too unstable to even contemplate switching over from XP. On the Microsoft site under Vista there is a page that tells you if you have clean install or can upgrade depending on what version of XP you have. Check your screen resolutions from your old monitor to the new monitor and see if there is a difference. What happens when you switch back to your old monitor?

It is most likely the graphics card capabilities. Of the issues that you are likely to have, not having a graphics card capable of running the Aero interface is likely to be top of the list. Either upgrade your graphics card or turn the Aero interface off. Did you run the Vista Upgrade Avisor and what did it say?

My machine is far more than capable.  I did do the upgrade test and since upgrading, I've looked up my graphics card on the Vista 'list'.  Everything is supposed to be fine.  That's why none of this makes any sense to me at all.

Have you installed the latest drivers and software for the video card though? It might be capable hardware, but for Vista you need to have the absolute latest video drivers installed.

Video cards are not the only important thing here.  If you have a "Brand" monitor installing its drivers might fix the problem.

As for "absolute lastest driver", I would be more specific and say "absolute latest driver FROM THE CARD MANUFACTURER".  On my Vista, the latest drivers from nVidia prove to be worst and give problems when the lastest drivers from Asus (mfg of my nvidia based video card) works perfectly.

You may also want to try the NOSPLASH parameter to see if it fixes the crash.

Yes thanks, that's what I meant to infer.

A bit off topic (as not Profiler related), but my friend has trouble with his nVidia video card (well, actually it's on-board) too. From what I found on the net, the nVidia driver is having trouble with the widescreen monitors... (My friend has to boot up in safe mode, then reboot regularly. This way it works, but it's not entirely convenient.)

How would I know if I could try to install an Asus driver for him...?
