Re: Cyberlink Power DVD "Bob Harris" <rharris270[SPAM][ at ]hotmail.com> 7/1/2007 2:19:29 PM Try http://www.cyberlink.com/english/cs/support/new_site/support_index.html for help specific to their product. Can Windows Explorer "see" the DVD. Even if a movie-type DVD it should ahve some files visible in Explorer. If not, then think bad hardware. For example bad DVD drive, or loose cable (power or signal), or bad DVD, or bad IDE controller on the motherboard. Other possibilities include wrong format of DVD (e.g., UDF, DLA), or wrong drivers. Is it only one DVD or all CDs and DVDs that have the problem? If one, then bad media. If all, then look into the drive hardware and software. If Explorer can see the files, but Power DVD can not play, then check whether the version of Power DVD compatible with XP? The version for win98/ME is probably not compatible with XP.

Thanks in advance. > > > James- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Some DVDs will play, but this one was recorded on a DVD recorder and played fine on a laptop, but would not play at all on a desktop here at home. Both computers are Dell Computers and the desktop has 2 GB RAM, Processor Speed 3.0 GHz. James
