DVD Studio Pro: Update your DVD@ccess to fix a hang or no-launch issue with Windows XP

A new update to DVD@ccess, software used with DVD Studio Pro and discs produced by it, can fix these issues:

• The DVD@access 2.0 Installer on Windows XP will not launch DVDaccess.exe on start-up.
• When you Log Off Windows XP with DVD@ccess active, the computer may become unresponsive ("hang"), displaying only a blue screen.

This affects users who have not upgraded to DVD Studio Pro 3 who are authoring discs that include DVD@ccess links.

Who needs this update

• Macintosh users who are authoring DVDs containing DVD@ccess on a version prior to DVD Studio Pro 3. The DVD@ccess.exe file is what gets written to your DVD in order for Windows users to have access to DVD@ccess functionality.
• Windows users who receive a disc containing DVD@ccess Links that was authored in a version prior to DVD Studio Pro 3
