DVDs again - problem

[troy]

Ok, so a couple of weeks ago I got ISO DVDs working, and life has been good. But I havent been able to get m4v's working.

So instead of downloading the Vista Codecs, I decided to rerun the Gameeex setup again, thinking maybe I didnt get the October 8 update.

Well, DVDs just stopped working.

So I installed the Vista Codec again - ok, m4vs are working now.

SO I reinstalled my Dnvidia codec thingie.

Still no DVDs.

The Virtual Clone Drive is still isntalled, gameex still sees the ISOs, but I go to play the DVD and it does the annoying "beep" then returns to the screen.

Im really really frustrated. Are there any logs I can post that would let somebody know how to help me? Id really like to get this thing DONE. I would love to have Dragons Lair isntalled too, but if I break something every time I install something, then Im not so sure.

Very very frustrated - any help is appreciated.

Thanks
