503205 2006-11-30 02:47:00 Hello kennybouy

Welcome to PressF1 :)

Do you have a DVD player in your computer?, to what your describing it sounds like you don’t have one in your computer that why you cant run the PC World DVD.

Hi, Looks like its only a cd player, not a dvd! How come the old PLUS cd's play and new ones don't (have they changed to DVD?) Whats the difference? thanks

Yes, the cd dose work as it runs the old cd's when I was subscribed 3-4 yrs ago. I did put in the March 2002 and it started instantly in IE. ?

503209 2006-11-30 04:09:00 NZ PC World sometimes include a DVD disk instead of a standard CD disk with the magazine. The DVD's will only work if you have a DVD drive installed. Jen (38)

is that soft ware or hardware? ta

503211 2006-11-30 04:16:00 Hardware. You will need to buy a DVD optical drive if you wish to use DVD's. They are not expensive so you may wish to consider getting a DVD writer which can also be used for backing up your personal files as they can hold about 4.7 Gigs of data compared to 700 MB with a CD.

503212 2006-11-30 05:49:00 Jen, dose the PC world come in either formatts. ie cd & dvd, can they send me a cd version? kennybouy (11550)
503213 2006-11-30 07:58:00 I can't see anywhere in the magazine where it states you can have a CD instead, and some of the individual game file sizes are well over what you could fit on a single CD. They only put out the DVD's instead of CD's a couple of times a year. :) Jen (38)
