So my "new" htpc is locking up while playing back ripped dvds (vob files) through VMC and my movies. It may play fine for a while, but then everything just stops. I still have mouse movement and can alt tab to the desktop, but nothing inside or outside of media center really responds or works. I have to do a hard boot, then all is fine until it does it again.


I did install the CCCP codec pack, so not sure if anything is conflicting?


Its a Dell dimension 8400 with 3.2 ghz proc

ATI 4550 card and Catalyst 8.12 drivers

2.5 gb ram

VMC with tv pack and updates

my movies 2

cccp installed

could be a conflict, can you try a trial version of powerdvd and see if it causes the same issues? This will help to rule out a few things.
