What is Beta Direct Draw? What should I do if such error message "Beta Direct Draw Expired" keeps appearing whenever I want to view video CD? Where do I update it? My VGA card is S3 Inc. Trio3D/2X Please advise! Thank you..

This started happening after I installed DirectX OCX for Visual Basic. I tried just about everything. Eventually my HD crashed and that got rid of it :)
Sorry, but it looks you'll have to reinstall windows :(
