Crystal Pistol

I would prefer to have control of when it is on or off though the GUI...CP

Tom: Would agree it would be rally cool if there could be a button added to the audio toolbar that when press would disable (background sound) for when you want to listen to straight Jukebox...CP

Guys: I have the same issue. I am running the latest version and a registered user. Menu option does not appear. Anything I can provide to help resolve? CP

Tom: Went to check it again before going through the uninstal, install routine...it worked with one of the latest two updates? Wierdest thing works fine now..it it bombs out again I will try updating the codec. Thanks!

Tom: Attached is the info on the video card: In regard to the codec.. I am using WinDVD 4..if I have the wrong thing here let me know or where to find it..thanks untitled.bmp

Yes Tom: I am also having issues with the latest release tried all the codecs as well and options. This used to work just fine awhile back and recently started to use again. I have an arcade VGA card, 16 640 X 480. System goes to start DVD see a black background kind of screen flash and then it returns to the main select list.
