I have finally solved the problem with VCDEasy's media player when using MPEG2 files. The sound would work OK but no picture. If you used any buttons on the player VCDEasy would dissappear.

It also fixed my problem of not being able to cut/merge mpeg2 in TMPGE.

It has also fixed my problem with Windows Media Player. MPEG2 files would play OK but using any buttons would bring up an error.

I had these problems even with PowerDVD installed.

THE SOLUTION -
I reinstalled Interactual player that comes on many DVDs.

I had this on in the past but uninstalled it.

YIPEEE!!!!!!!!! (some of us are easily pleased )
