Hi,
For some reason, Vista crashes as soon as a DVD (hardware or virtual)
starts to play (BCCode e3). LiveTV and AVI play without any problem.
I deinstalled some programmes, one of which was Nero 6 Express.
This Nero was incompatible, but wanted to try it anyway. Although
i cannot pinpoint the cause of the crashes, but i suspect my Nero
experiment.

Anybody any 'serious' clue of how to fix this?
I'll sure appriciated it.

try opening the Tools > Options > Compatibility list in Movie Maker and
unchecking the Nero related line items.... or all of them for a while just
for your experiment.

No idea, but there may be some clues in the Event log.

What files are on the DVDs, regular commercial movies?

MovieMaker has no Nero entries. tnx.
The logbooks do not show a thing.

As soon as a 'regular' DVD (VOB, BUP, IFO) starts playing by Windows
Media player or Vista Media Center, Vista crashes:

BlueScreen; OSversion 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3; BCCode=e3;
BCP1=D876BDD0;BDP2=B8D54880;
BCP3=C59F1378; BCP4=0000003;
OSVersion=6_0_6000; ServicePack=0_0; <-- ??? it's SP1, duh..
Product: 786_1

Is there somebody who can tell me how to read a c:\windows\minidump ?

To read minidump you need WinDbg
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevToo...g/default.mspx. Then, File >
Open Crash Dump...
In Command widow type '!analyze -v'. In order to get correct stack trace you
need to configure an access to proper symbol files, see help for details.
