Pioneer D-440 and VCD playback

[Tigershere]

I actually think this is the recording messing up so please help if you can.

It displays that it is a video CD, when you hit details though it says the track or 0.00 and if you hit play, it stops almost right away after spinning up.

It's brand new DVD player and it did work with one CD I made but I have nuked 15 blanks trying to make another
MP3 CDs are working fine, but I can't get it to work now at all so it seems the software is just not burning video right

Uninstalled 5.02 thinking something got changed when I installed TMPGEnc.

Now, after installing 5.0 and patching (without rebooting) to 5.02 I now after a reboot have a very odd Project selector screen It's way messed up and a lot of the art is messed up and the hovers are really not working right
When you hover the Make a Data CD, nothing is there to click. Same for the CD copier, it's just missing except the the 'arrow' up to where the button should be

So basically, I can't create a VCD and now I can't work the selector correctly The programs themselves seem fine though

Help anyone as I am tired of eating CDS!
The selecter I will find a fix to as it's just graphical it seems as the other programs look fine and no crashes
I just can't get a VCD to play on the DVD OR on the PC either, it does not want to play on my PC at all.
The source files play fine, preview fine, burning, nada

I am running Windows 2000 with SP2 and all of the patches it offers

lol, I found what was causing the bad Selector screen
I turned off the system tray icon for it and it fixed it.
With it in the tray, it messed it up no matter how I launched it
( hence why it was ok until I rebooted once )
So, if anyone gets weird muffed up graphics with 5.x it's that sys tray icon
