    Hello,

    On my 5920G I screwed something up. Yesterday my HD DVD worked fine.
    Today, I installed new drivers from LaptopVideo2Go and then I get the incompatible video driver message as shown in the subject line. Of course, I rolled back the driver, tried system restore, and reinstalled the original drivers
    from the acer website, all in that order.. Still, no HD DVD, (and no moving video thru my HDMI port to my TV). So........does anyone have any ideas as to a fix?

    Thanks!

    Mark

    System Hard Disk Restore? That should solve it. My first options whenever something goes wrong, as its quick, and as long as you back everything up, the system comes back as good as new. Much better than carrying recovery discs around.

    thats the price you pay for modded drivers,sometimes they work other times they mess something up.....but with acers drivers being so old its a price worth paying lol

    My HD-DVD Acer software player was borked and a system restore fixed it. Try again. Good luck. As for the OEM Acer Nvidia drivers well I'm not thrilled.
    I get the dreaded NVD driver stopped responding and video driver crashes at certain levels of Doom3. I haven't tried other games yet. I hate to buy a new one and have the 5920G kill the joy.

    Update,

    Actually, it's code 0122, for starters.

    Also, it's not the modded inf file from trying to update the drivers. I restored from the Acer management software and all worked until I let windows update.
    It's something in the many updates that are waiting from microsoft.
    Nobody else is having this problem? Or, nobody else is trying HD DVD's?

    Probably is the MS updates that borked my HD-DVD playback. My problems was teh Acer player software would not play the HD-DVD disc until I updated and the updater said I was upto date no need to update. Really borked.

    Since my restore I have not re-updated with MS.
    In the back of my mind I was suspicious that it was. I am not alone now.

    Now if I have the time or the patience to single out exactly which MS update item is borking the HD-DVD player to exclude it so that we may all update with the items that don't mess with our new Systems
