Last night I had my first encounter with the "Blue Screen of Death" when adding a third movie to my menu.  I did a search on "blue screen of death" and found that several people who had ATI cards encountered the same problem last January.  Has a solution ever been found?

Have you tried changing the render from hardware to software?  It's reported to work for some.

Yup.  The solution is to go to Add/Remove Programs, and remove DAO, reboot, and try again.

Thanks - sounds like I'll be able to fix this.  Hey Paul - I always do the rendering with software now instead of hardware.  Grandpabruce - what does DAO stand for and who's program is it?

Data Access Object, and as far as I know, it is in with the ATI drivers for All In Wonder video cards.

Grandpabruce - When you said: "go to Add/Remove Programs, and remove DAO, reboot, and try again," is the following (from another thread on the DAO program) what you meant?

1- Unregister it by typing this at the command line-
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao\dao360.dll"

then.

2- Register it:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao\dao360.dll"

Go to START/RUN then copy and paste the Unregister command in the run box. PRess OK
Do the same with the second command to register.

initialize the roxio product you are using.


Or, do you mean that I should literally remove DAO?

I forgot about the Unregister trick.  Try that first.  If it does not work, uninstall DAO via Add/Remove Programs.

Let us know what works.

Granpabruce - the unregister trick worked great.  I can now add a third movie without problem.

High fives to you!  And thanks for coming back and posting your results.  It will help others, in the future.
