DVD-ROM Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have two computers each with the ability to play DVDs. Tried to play "Lord
of The Rings: The Return of the King". When I notice that both my computers
had seperate problems.

I tried putting it on my old computer. It has XP SP2. The drive for DVDs is,
as stated on Device Manager, LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163D. The computer is about 3
years old. When I tried to put in the DVD's, the drive could not detct it. So
I decided to check it on my other computer

My other computer also has XP SP2. The drive for it TSSTcorp CD/DVDW
TS-H552U. It is under a year old. When I played it the menu came up, but no
sound could be produced. I check sound settings and everything seems to be in
Check. By the way, the speakers are C-Media Wave Device.

Please help!

Have you installed DVD playback software for either device? Windows XP does
not do DVD playback until a third party DVD decoder is installed.

The speakers are less likely that name brand than the Sound Card. Big
difference in speakers and the sound card. heh

Your old drive just may be .. old and dead/dying/not able to read certain
media.

Your new computer may need drivers installed or updates to the fiormware of
the drive or even the software you are using to play may need to be updated.

Clean the fingerprints off your DVD disk and try again.

It's possible that the laser for the DVD is burnt out. I have a DVD/CD-ROM
player (LG) and it won't recognize DVDs. It will recognize CDs.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.

First PC, do any DVD videos play?

Second PC, try two channel audio instead of six on the menu setup for the
video DVD mentioned.
