Solution for WinDVD "Create Overlay Failed"
Today I just stated experiencing some problems when playing
DVDs with Intervideo's WinDVD. I always got a "Create Overlay Failed" error. I also couldn't play DVD's in my Windows Media Player anymore. Google didn't give me much.... reinstall this, reinstall that, but nothing really helped. After quite a long search I found this thread on this group: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c...040f46846ef33/ So I dug into DirectX and soon found that the problem was caused by a Remote Assistance session of Live Messenger. While a connection is active, DirectDraw Acceleration and AGP Texture Acceleration are both disabled. If this happens, you don't have to reinstall anything. Just right click desktop, Properties, Settings, Advanced, Troubleshoot, and slide the hardware acceleration handle to Full again, OK, OK It solved the problem for me. Since the thread was not available for replies anymore, I decided to open this one, FWIW. Dirk Vdm |
