Sorry it not DDraw it Direct3D that why DVD did work before.
Just like Voodoo3 drivers, DDraw was on but it don't work intell you turn on Direct3D.

Yes it does dude..... I just took a screen cap of my dxdiag. I tested direct 3d and Ddraw, then never worked for me before with rc2 and they both do now.
 
here is where I uploaded the pic, its 100k jpg file. Both test worked for me flawlessly. http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Lounge/6024/Images/ddraw_affirmative.jpg

to be totally honest, I dont think I understood most of ur message SHS.

WOW!
I just want to check these few points, JimmyK.
1. These drivers enable D3D, direct draw and OpenGL.
2. The direct draw test actually draws something.
3. The D3D output is O.K (i.e not really slow or with poly errors).
 
If this driver passes all these points, I'm there!
(Now I've just gotta find decent drivers for my Sh*t MX300).
 
Thanks,
Morto.

Tried 3.52. D3D and DDraw work both OK. At least till now
 
The 3.52 drivers aren't anymore at telekotz.de (kinda legal stuff)
 
-D4D

Using:
Build 2128
DirectX7 Final Release
NVidia 3.52 drivers
 
Everything appears to work.
DXDIAG - both DD and D3D work
UT - using D3D
Q3A - using OpenGL
Tirtanium 1.60 - using both D3D and OpenGL
 
Based on this, I'm tempted to updated my day-to-day usage 2072 install to 2128.

Yeah same here, but Im having 1 problem cant get my lasre printer to work udner rc2 and it works udner rc1, aint that odd?? its a NEC SuperScript 870.
 
Other wis eI would have updated my rc1 to rc2 2 nights ago.

go back to the older NV drivers then run
DirectX Diagnostic Tool Report's
DirectDraw Acceleration Enabled
Direct3D Acceleration Disabled
AGP Support "do not need this" Disabled
now run a DVD movie & it dosen't work
 
go back to the newer NV drivers then run
DirectX Diagnostic Tool Report's
DirectDraw Acceleration Enabled
Direct3D Acceleration Enabled
AGP Support "do not need this" Enabled
now run a DVD movie & it work

Thats what I was saying as well SHS, that the older drivers even though they said there is ddraw it didnt work because I tried playing dvd movies and it couldnt.
 
But now with the new drivers everything works, and it passes all the tests in dxdiag. with the older drivers it never passed the direct draw test for me. NOw I got agp working ddraw working and d3d working.
 
I still am lost with ur first post when u said "Sorry it not DDraw it Direct3D that why DVD did work before." what is not ddraw? and DVD did NOT work for me before, maybe u had better luck.
 
All I know is I got everything working and I am happy as a camel in water.
 
 
one more thing with the OLD drivers I was using it said d3d works and so does ddraw BUT ddraw did not work in actuality.

You said
> Im watching a dvd using ddraw
Win you should have said Direct3D & not the DirectDraw
DDraw = DirectDraw "2D Only"
D3D = Direct3D "Game, DVD so on down the line"
