Comment(by leemind):

 I suffered from this problem as well.  First time it would play, but then
 subsequent attempts was very hit-or-miss.  I'd loose the OSD 90% of the
 time.  This is on an Acer Revo 3600 with the ION chipset.

 However, seeing this thread and another on the net I managed to dig around
 in the BIOS and changed the allocated video memory from 128Mb (default) to
 256Mb (Max allowed by the BIOS) and the difference has been huge.  I only
 did this last night, but it didn't fail on me once, so an immediate
 improvement.

 [PS. Great work guys.]
