Detonator 42.01 & DVD Playback

Necrosis · Dec 28, 2002, 05:52 AM

Yes, I don't have a Nvidia card but I need input from people that have installed these drivers. I'm building a system for a friend soon that will consist of a 4200 and WinXP Pro among other things. It is very important that DVD playback work on this computer. I've heard dvd playback is broken with these drivers and DirectX 9.

Is this true???

Thx.

Just wanted to let everyone know the system build went very well and my friend is quite happyer with her system. Plus, no issues what so ever using the Abit Siluro (WinDVD backed) player.
