Hi Everyone,
does anyone have any experience of XP rebooting when media player ( either v7 or v8 ) tries to play a video file ? My machine reboots if it has to even look at one. It will play CDs or play DVDs fine but not video ? ? ? ? ?

OK I'll reply to myself


NVidia finally released a new , updated, Detonator XP driver ( it's the 8.4Mb one ) This fixes the problems with Media Player not playing ANY video of ANY format - in fact it reboots the machine very untidily. This also fixes the conflict with the 3D XP Screen saver too - this applies to GEForce 2 MX400 cards....

Hope this helps any other of you who have less hair due to tearing it out for the last 6 months waiting for NVidia to get their finger out......
