When computer is idle, annoying video starts up: How do I permanently stop it from playing?

The video is set up as the screen saver. Just go into your control panel and change the screen saver and voila - no more annoying video.

You can download VLC and set it to run from that instead. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Great advice. I discovered this myself through trial-and-error. With my new laptop and Office 2007 (I was using 2003), I no longer have the problem. I start up presenter mode and I'm immediately up and running, clicking away. Now if I could just figure out why some video files work and other don't, and some only work after you back up and then advance to the video-embedded slide again. I had hoped that a new laptop with a clean install of Vista and the new version of Office would fix the problem that's plagued me for years...

I have the 4gig and it does it too. The trick to fix that worked for me is shown on UTube, although it is annoying to have to do it all the time. Just look for Zen White screeen of Death on U-Tube. I found it hard to accurately understand how to do it without watching this video.It seems to also help to have the player in standard play mode before turning off, or I might be imagining things.

Every 2min or every 5min the video breaks into another file. No real difference.

Yes, well, as I mentioned above, the problem went away when I selected "Video2". This is a great DVD player, no question.

I would disable or physically remove (if possible). Then run the CD that comes with and it will guide you through...a very simple set up.

If it is installed correctly (specifically, one of the electrical connections must always have power), it will continue playing from where it left off. If you are in the middle of a video, turn the car off, and leave the screen open, when you start the car again, it will automatically turn on and start playing where it left off, without doing anything.

i installed the VLC andriod version so I can play almost any video. Turn off the wifi when you are not using it. It saves the battery. It worked well for me.

Change your setup, as suggested by others. Ours has never turned off unexpectedly, and we've sat through many many hours of movies using it.

Geologist is correct, I think. It is a processing power issue. I have an old single-core Pentium 2.4GHz and no matter which player I try, I get stopping and starting when playing back.Strangely enough, I've had much better results by uploading the videos to the FlipShare website and playing them from there! I guess they must be compressing them somehow, which is ordinarily a bad thing but in this case allows you to see them without the "stuttering" in the playback.

In the video options turn "rag dolls" to low. This will put a lower strain on your CPU and make the bodies less graphic. You still might not find it suitable but it's an option.

This unit goes it to power save way to easy, it is on of the things I hate about the unit, if you are feeding it a constant signal it,s fine, but pausing playback, for as little as 30 seconds on my computer will make it go into standby very aggravating.

Videos may need reformatting to play and here is a tutorial that worked for me: http://content.miccastore.com/sites/default/files/Micca%20Standard%20Video%20Recode%20Tutorial.pdf Once I have a video that plays, it goes on a loop until I tell it to stop.
