Hello,
I have two computers with the same problem. They won't play DVDs. They will however play CDs. They did at one time play them perfectly fine.
My desktop will not even recognize that a DVD is in the drive. The dvd then does not show up in any program I have tried to play it on: WinDVD, Windows Media Player, InterActual Player, or RealPlayer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling WinDVD, but that doesn't work. I bought this computer about one year ago.
My laptop will recognize that the DVD is there, but it won't play on any programs I have. I have tried PowerDVD, WinDVD, and Windows Media Player. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall WinDVD, but no matter what I do it just tells me that I need to change my screen resolution and/or color quality. No matter what I change it too, it doesn't work. For PowerDVD, it tells me that "TheTV Out port of your display card is not working properly." and that "This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enable." I tried searching for "tv out" and "out port" in the help section, but didn't come up with anything. I just bought this computer August 2005.
I feel that my desktop might need more work than my laptop and that my laptop sounds like setting problems.
Any help would be greatly apprieciated!!
Thank you,
Stephanie
