Tecra M5: Create Overlay Failed message appears when play DVD

When I try and play a DVD on my Tecra M5 I get the following message "Create Overlay Failed" and a suggestion that I reduce my resolution or colour depth. I have taken these down to the lowest possible levels and still get the above message. I have checked the drivers for the graphic card and DVD Player and both seem to be up to date.
Any suggestions.

Hi
On many forums you can see the same issue on various notebook models but no single solution works for everyone.
Check please if the extended desktop option is enabled. If yes disable it.
1. Right-click in an empty area of the desktop, and then select Properties.
2. In Display Properties window, click the Settings tab.
3. On the Settings tab, click to clear the check mark from Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor, and then click OK.
Some users have reported that opened Netmeeting causes this issue.
Please check also follow page: http://player.interactual.com/help/support/articles/0015.asp
Good luck!

    Thanks for pointing me in the direction of VLC Player. I had no idea what VLC is but it seems a safe (and free) feature. I googled it and downloaded latest version for XP. All DVDs now play perfectly! Still no joy with other players but who cares. Many thanks, full marks. Owen

  • ZFDAgent causes "Create overlay failed" error for DVD players

    After installing ZFDagent on XP computers, I've noticed (on two I've
    checked so far) that the DVD players won't play movies anymore. I get an
    error saying "create overlay failed". The rest of the error is worded
    slightly different for different software. After uninstalling the Zen
    client, the DVD players started working again. How do I get both ZEN and
    the DVD to work at the same time? Has this issue even been seen by anyone
    else?

    Try to disable the darpan.sys

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
