I recently installed WinDVD from the Sound Blaster Live! CD that comes with the sound card upon my win2000 system. Every time I use the program it comes up with the message about Macrovison protected stuff, so i click OK, and then it reboots the PC!!!
 
I tried altering some stuff in system properties, which stops the pc from rebooting on a system crash, and it does show a screen with caused error so and so.
 
The system I use has 192MB of RAM, Geforce 2 GTS, Win 2000 with SP1 installed (SP1 can be removed at this point.)Sound Blaster Live! 1024 card, 10GB hard drive, Creative 5XDVD Drive and a Philips CD-Rewriter.
 
Can Anyone suggest some thing to remedy this?
