well it IS only a PII, the odds are against you being able to play a dvd smoothly on it, maybe if you had dxva graphics

try "mplayer"; uses least resources, but still not much less than mpc

wmp wont play the dvd/?
says it needs decoders?

[bernie_ramone]

it came fitted new with a dvd player...but someone formatted it...and she cant remmeber what program used to play dvds perfectly/??

wmp needs a dshow mpeg2 decoder-- dscaler, powerdvd and windvd will allow playback in wmp

edit: give full specs

try to get an old copy of powerdvd from someone, also optimize the laptop,
W2k doesn't come with msconfig

MS should really fix that themselves, shame on them!
