Going downhill and getting worse...now the non-QT Fab8 8.0.9.5 will not launch either.
No nVidia here to contend with, running MB integrated graphics Radeon HD4250 with the current ATI driver available.
The irony here is, we XPers have no use for the QT with 3d…just give us our updates via the non-QT please…..more customers are running XP than 7. Does this mean refunds are forthcoming?

Yup, the check's in the mail...
Unfortunately, I don't believe you're going to see non-QT versions again...ever
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

...and many of us are running XP and are having no problems with the QT versions. I don't know what is causing the problem for some XP users but I'm also running Nvidia drivers and that's not causing a problem for me either. Something else must be the villain.
Problems running DVDFab QT versions under XP SP3 solved
My computer's graphics card is an MSI nVidia T2D512-OC
After just having posted to this forum I finally gave in to the many suggestions that this problem could be graphics related, and updated the XP nVidia drivers to version 6.14.12.5896 (258.96) 9/07/2010.
Now DVDFab QT version 8.1.0.0 launches and so far (these are early days) acts exactly the same as it does under Vista and Windows 7 Ultimate Editions.
I am just hoping that as has already happened several times in the past, solving this problem has not unknowingly produced several new ones to take its place.
But for the purposes of this thread I now regard this matter as closed, and once again thank you all for your advice and patience with someone who has discovered the hard way that having the latest version of any software installed is NOT always an improvement.
I am still having no luck or joy here after successfully installing version 8.1.0.0.
Something else on your system has obviously changed since the previous version failed to launch.
I did an uninstall of the latest ATI driver, followed by a re-boot for effect. It DID NOT like the change AT ALL.....tried to crash, then re-installed a previous driver on it's own.
This previous driver, when used, was also a failure. But, after re-installing the NON-QT old version (which also had started to fail to launch), it successfully opened. (Yeah! progress!).
After opening, the query popped up to update. That's when I noticed the 8.1.0.0 was available. Answering 'Yes' to update, the install completed with a successfull launch.
I don't know if I just stumbled into it or not, as the current driver was also problematic with the previous QT versions. Now it's not.
I have a T61 Lenovo laptop, XP SP3 and NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140 display adapter built in. I downloaded the latest DVDLab last yesterday as well as the reduced one that is always free and neither will start. Runs fine in a Toshiba running Vista (same download image) but I don't run Vista every day. There must be some design assumption that conflicts with some driver. Too bad since it's a nice program.
Guys, stop re-installing madness!! I have a AMG Phenom II processor and a new 1G graphics driver also, and here is the solution to running QT DVDFAB: RIGHT CLICK desktop DVDFAB icon, then select PROPERTIES, then select COMPATABILITY, then select RUN IN 256 COLORS. Presto.
I tried the 256 colors suggestion and it gets as far as the Welcome screen but then when I click on Start DVDfab, nothing happens. I can see the process running but that's it.
If you still have startup problem with latest version of DVDFab Qt, please try to import the registry file "fabplay.reg" in attachment, then run DVDFab again to see the result.
