Playing DVDs

Hi all

What would be the cause of my problem? When I insert a DVD, of cours
for viewing I get a multicolored, pix elated screen. I get the sam
result using Media center or media player. Any help would be helpful.

Thanks

==============================
You might have better luck using the free VLC
Media Player:

And...it could be an issue with your video driver.
If you reduce your Graphics Hardware Acceleration
and see an improvement...it's a strong indication
that your video driver needs and update.

"No guarantees and proceed at your own risk."

Windows Vista -
How To Reduce Graphics
Hardware Acceleration

1. Click Start, type personalization
in the Start Search box, and then
click Personalization in the Programs
list.

2. Click Display Settings.

3. Click Advanced Settings.

4. Click the Troubleshooting tab, and
then drag the Hardware Acceleration
slider to the left until it is one notch to
the right of None (the Basic acceleration
setting).

5. Click OK, and then click Close.

6. If you are prompted to restart the
computer, click Yes.

If the problem is improved...reinstall/
update your video driver. If the problem
is not improved...return the acceleration
to Full and seek a different solution.

Good luck.

Hi John,

Thank for the information. But there must be a way to have my Vista
working the way it should. I will keep trying to search for an answer.
