Hi everyone,

Have just bought my son this laptop (as an emergency because his Advent's keyboard just packed up) and he can't play his DVD's on it. They are area code 2 which I think is for Europe but zippo.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks.

Which OS are you using (Vista I guess?), and do you get any errors or just a blank screen when you try and play them?

It could be that there is no DVD decoder on the laptop, in which case try something like VLC Media Player to load the DVD: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Hello Ian,
It is Vista and he's getting a blank screen. I'm forwarding on your reply.
Many thanks.
Margaret

I want to play several songs as background for my presentation, which start on the first slide and play one after the other until the end of the show. Has anyone done this? =?Utf-8?B?U3VlIGZyb20gU3BlY2lhbCBFZA==?= Microsoft Powerpoint 2 15th Apr 2004 11:47 PM
