| 428023 | 2006-02-07 10:26:00 | Hi all, I have quite old desktop (P3 450mhz, 2 x 10gig HD, 256mb ram, DVD ROM - unknown brand and HP CD writer) all running Win XP - SP2. The problem is with my DVD-ROM drive. At the beginning everything was ok. Since then I installed (and uninstalled) many software (even OS -originally it was Win 98se). Nowadays it reads CDs without any problems, it reads PCWorlds DVDs ok (opens web page and i can navigate to it by explorer), it plays DVD movies but it can not read DVDs with files that i made on my laptop with DVD burner. It can not read the files that were finalised on SONY DVD camera as well. I tried writing files on both formats +R and -R without any difference. Any ideas? |
