pesario 700 winXP Pro

I upgraded from winXP home to winXP Pro. My DVD didn't like the
transition, I get overlay failures in InterVideo winDVD gold 5.
compaq chat help, not too helpful yet. Any one have any hints or
opinions.

Actually, an upgrade is preferable in this case, I think. Did you try
uninstalling then reinsatalling the DVD software and then the video drivers
if that doesn't help?

Wowowowo
Well, then I have some questions :

- Presario 700, that's correct ? Then video card is a S3 ProSavage
Twister... And this driver you downloaded should do the trick... Unless
your model is a specific one (and I don't remember such a thing for this
model family...)

- What does your "Device Manager" say about your video card ?

Also, you can try directly on chipset maker's site :
https://ranger.s3graphics.com/
login : archive
password : archive
Click on "Agree"
Click on 380Drv - Twister
and there you are...

Good luck !!!
