To all of you out there that had the same issue as I did with the DVDWS crashing, I have been experimenting with what was causing this problem. It seems that the win2k drivers for my scanner (mustk 1200cu) and printer (samsung ML-1210) have been causing the problem. They were the last thing that I installed prior to this action happening. I installed all my other drivers, NAV, NPF, and other video/dvd software.

Hope this helps anyone who has the same problems, the results are worth triing for though!
