Can't watch dvd films directly from combo!

gubak · 03-24-2006, 10:01 AM

I have installed WinXP prof. SP2. K8 motherboard, AMD 1.7GHz processor, AtiRadeon 9250 128MB, 128 bit VGA, 512MB RAM. I have recently got an LG combo. My problem is:
I can't watch dvd films directly from Combo ( because it plays slowly with breaks), but if I copy dvd films into my HDD I can watch it with no problems.
Can You tell me why can't I watch dvd films directly from Combo?

Thank you

What are the specs of your drive? Also, check all the cables are in tight.

Where can I see my driver's sepification?

Take the drive out of the computer, there will be everything you need to know on the top of the drive.
