hi dudes, when creating a dvd using tmpgenc or dvd lab i get this message:

read error occured at address 1c103099 of module 'mciqtz32.dll' with 00000000.

i know it must be something bad because my machine crashes soon after.

can anyone tell me what to do next!

thankyou.

That's part of DirectX, try reinstalling it. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downloads/default.htm

thanks for the reply, i had the latest directx version 9c, but still the same problem... i did reinstall it and also read about why you shouldnt uninstall it.

i got a feeling i should have never installed directX 9c


thanks anyway

Running Win98 or ME with the latest DirectShow drivers may cause problems. Or so I've heard. Are you using either of these versions of Windows?

naw im using xp

do you know if its possible to install a earlier verion of direct x?

I saw a article on that don't know if it's still valid or valid for XP but you have to edit a few files to fool windows into thinking you have an older version which will then allow you to install any version above that.

IMO your probably going to cause more problems going that route.... Have you searched MS KB or googled that error?
