I have found that the HP DVD software (HPF2015-12002, v1.0) will not function properly when the Microsoft Netmeeting services are running on systems loaded with Windows 2000 Professional. The program will open, but a DVD cannot be played without an error. The specific error message is "DVDExpress DVD Player: Unable to create video window. Please try altering your display settings" Once you disable the Netmeeting service and re-logon, the DVD will play. Enable the service, and it won't play. A screeshot of the error message is attached. Can anyone provide any insight to this issue?
Thanks,

BTW, there is some limited information on National Mediamatics' website (but I could find no match for NetMeeting). http://www.national.com/appinfo/dvd/
I figured it out. NetMeeting and DVD playback both need the Overlay Mixer filter to run properly, but only one app at a time can access the Overlay Mixer. If remote desktop sharing is enabled or NetMeeting is running, you cannot play a DVD.
