MMsystem error 275
When trying to play DVD movies with my Toshiba SD-M1002 DVD Rom drive and Hollywood-2 play back card I get MMsystem error 275. I am using DMA bus mastering. Is there any simple fix for this problem? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for trying, but that does not fix the problem. I've experimented more with my system and found that I can play movie trailors/previews (only 84 mb in size)without any problems. I only come up with the dreaded mmsystem 275 error when I try to play the full length movies, these files are almost 1 gigabyte in size. I will be editing my question with this new info. Thanks again for your help.

I now only get the MMsystem 275 error when trying to play large DVD files (about 1 gigabyte in size). I can play DVD movie trailors and previews (about 100 mb file size) with no problem. Any solutions would be appreciated.
dsg,
Is the movie file in the same format as the previews?
Try reducing the color depth to 256 colors in display properties.

Ralph

Have you tried simply going to your Windows Setup in the control panel Add/Remove Software and reinstalled the Multimedia section? Maybe you have a corrupt file or something?

I am starting to believe the problem is possibly with my hardrive. The media files are the same type, the only difference
is the size (the file it plays fine is only 84 mb, the ones it
can't play are 800+ mb). I have an older conner 850 mb hardrive and maybe it just can't keep up with the data transfer rate of the DVD.

I reformatted my hardrive under windows 98 using fat32 and the problem vanished (my hardrive was previously formatted under fat 16). I don't know how but that seemed to correct the MMsystem 275
error. Thanks for your inputs.
