A friend of mine is getting this error when he trys to watch a DVD on his new computer: Create overlay failed. Please lower your screen resolution or color depth and try again.
I've searched on Google, and didn't find anything helpful, so I thoght I'd ask here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. _________________ SSE Network Administrator |

I'm guessing you already lowered your resolution and color depth. Did you try updating the video card/dvd drivers? |

Go into the display properties, advanced, and make sure video acceleration is turned on to full or none (try both). |
