Chris Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 You'll need DVD decoding software...WinDVDPowerDVDGoogle them.Without the software you can't play DVD's :( When you have the software you can then watch :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 open the drawer,put in the disk, close the drawer wait a few seconds, if auto play fails, open WMP and press the play button, (may look like a triangle) Watch Movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
