Im having a similar problem to some others, except I cant even run the configuration (cfg.bat). I'm no genius here but I know that I've got all the updated drivers and codec (i.e. Divx5.1, directx 9.0c, and video drivers) and I've gotten rid of MMswitch.ax and I3codec. I have no spyware on my system, its not connected to the internet. All I can get to run is the video, after that it always reverts back to the desktop. I've even tried reducing the sound acceleration. I know that this horse has been beat to death already, but I'm just wondring if someone might have little more insight than me...because of the situation (the fact that I can't even run cfg.bat) I'm beginning to wonder if there is something much more fundamental that I'm missing here.
