I have to use a lot of descriptive insults to give voice to my inner pain.

 Does anyone have experience with getting the hardware acceleration to work with the 8500/8600 series cards?

I've got a new 8500GT, Vista, and the latest versions of powerdvd and nvidia drivers. When I try to play an x/h264 file I can hear it but all I get for video is a blank green screen. :confused:

If I turn HW accel off in the cyberlink filter settings or powerdvd itself, the videos play fine, albeit w/o hardware acceleration, which is the whole point...
