Hi me again.
I am getting the green screen in powerdvd 4.0 playing a svcd
For some reason this problem doesn't arise when a cd is played where I turned off the "joliet" option.
In windows 98 I never had this problem.
These are the things the configuration during play displays, they are quite different.
From ("joliet")cd:
