DVD playback

[bassman]

Hello gang.
I'm messing with a Toshiba laptop now. The problem is with the DVD playback. It plays audio cd's fine and the one DVD that I am trying plays fine in my Compaq under the same programs.When I open the DVD program it auto runs then gives me this,"Unable to create video surface". When I hit "OK" it then tells me "ERROR Renderfile" on the Toshiba DVD Player, or in PCFriendly it gives me a box that says "d:\video_ts\Video_ts.ifo" The only option at this point is to hit cancel. When I do this I get "This DVD Video not supported by your system. Check driver intallation or ensure valid file type.
OS is "ME" uuugggg http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/frown.gif . Best I can tell is it was an upgrade from 98. PII with 128mgb ram.
Let me know if you need more info and I already know what to expect about windows ME. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Bassman, have you tried reinstalling the DVD playback software?

Hi Blaze
I cant do to much with the machine at this time. A friend is looking at buying it and wanted me to check it out. I have no software, no manuales, and cant do much changeing now. I hope this is a simple config. problem. I plan to try another DVD today and see what happens.
Thanks

Sorry Pete, couldn't resist. Hey what was that THUMP noise I heard.

Anyway, the machine is on it's way back to the owner who says he knows what to do.
Thanks Blaze and to all who are thinking on this one. I would still appreciate any ideas, just for my own head. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif
