| 588438 | 2007-09-06 03:03:00 | Hi, I was given a new sub for Network guide, for a birthday- one of many many in total:groan: - and subsequently, the firm sent me a "Superman Returns " double video which I was told could be played on my computer--yeah right !! I loaded one of the DVD onto my cd/r rom, and clicked on E drive- saw the flash of an icon of a CD, on screen- then nothing. I don't care about the Superman as such but, why, when even the DVD says it can be played- it will not? Part of my re search shows it needs Windows Media v 10, which I have, and as well I have "Nero" video available, if it is relevant. I have sent the initial CD set back after being told it was faulty and after the second lot arrived, got exactly the same. I sent both back to Auckland where they say they played normally, - sent yet a third set down this morning and I still get nothing Any help would be gratifying. Auckland have just sent an e mail saying that perhaps some W /media v10 do not have the ability to play and I T people say it cannot be done anyway. I see a dvd decoder at Windows ( US$ 19.83 ) but am advised I have sufficient ability already :help: effie C |

| 588441 | 2007-09-06 04:09:00 | No worries :) Umm you'll need a DVD-ROM (replace the normal cd), if u want to play DVD's on your computer. DVD's definitely WONT play on a cd-rom. (If it isnt a DVD). |
