It's pretty 'special' when you happen to have an nVidia 8800 card and are running Windows XP. PureVideo HD is only rolled into the driver for the Vista driver for the 8000 series card. Even buying and installing PureVideo HD as a separate program hasn't helped. The 'HD able' checking program that CyberLink provide says that my graphics card drivers and monitor are causing PowerDVD to fail to enable VMR.
My monitor isn't HDCP compliant .. but from what I've read on the net I'd gotten the impression that if you connect your monitor with an analog (VGA) connector then it should get around that problem.
All the success stories I see posted seem to involve the 7000 series of nVidia card which does have PureVideo HD rolled into the driver for Windows XP.
