may be u should redownload the apllication... as seems to me... may be the installation source is corrupted...

btw ... WinDVD system Requirements doesnt include the AMD processors... shouldnt be any problem.. but strange to read that...

 

[dIgItaL_BrAt]

v8 is quite buggy according to reports on the net,better stick with v7.

I guess you have AMD-32 Bit processor. WinDVD V8 does not support this processor.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

WinDVD V8 does not support this processor.

as i mentioned earlier... System Requirements doesnt include the AMD processors... but it also not sais that it wont run on AMD 32bit processor ?? can u give any official LINK ??

 

[Kiran.dks]

There is no official declaration of the same. Even WinDVD 7 was made without considering AMD-32 support. However it was working without problems. But WinDVD 8 is completely incompatible to AMD. For some unknown reasons, InterVideo is not considering support to AMD. Strange but true.
