When I try and load the ATI DVD Player in Windows 2000, it just puts the ATIMMC.exe into memory and then does nothing. If I run TV or any of the other progs first, then switch over to DVD, it will work. I dunno what's going on, I think it's conflicting with something. I've tried closing every process that can be closed and can't seem to get it running by itself. It actually played fine when I did a fresh install, but I think the new service pack(or maybe something else) has altered something and it doesn't work any more. I have a Toshiba SD-M1502 drive and I know it's nothing with the drive because the built-in Windows DVD Player will play the DVDs fine. Also, Leon: The Professional freezes up the ATI Player but works in the Windows one fine. If anyone can help with these problems I'd really appreciate it. Running Win2k with all the updates and latest video drivers and all that nonsense. 1.2Ghz Athlon T-bird, 256MB PC2100 RAM, ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon AGP 32MB, Creative SoundBlaster Live!

Well obviously nobody read or knew what to do about this. But I will explain how to fix this in case someone ever comes up with the problem and runs across this message. The problem here was with the ASPI layer in Win2k. The file, wnaspi32.dll, will cause the ATI DVD Player to not run properly when initiated. At least, what happened with me was I updated my wnaspi32.dll to one that worked with Audiocatalyst and some other ASPI-requiring programs. So to fix the problem I deleted /winnt/system32/wnaspi32.dll and reinstalled the ones that came with Nero. Of course, Audiocatalyst and others won't work after you do this, but to solve this problem just put a copy of the wnaspi32.dll that does work for those programs in their specific directories. This way the system doesn't share them and whatever's going on with the ATI player won't happen anymore. Hope this comes of help to somebody, it caused me much frustration but I'm happy now! Later.
