My dvd player is acting up. When I put in a dvd it starts up fine, using Intervideo WinDVD, ive also tried interactual player. Anyway, at time, the dvd continues to play, but theres no picture, you can hear it, but the screen is black. I had one dvd that did this whil whatching and it would fade in and out like this. Another dvd, i simply went to the menu, after it showed advertisemenst and such, and it went balck. I tried dusting the dvd drive best I could, but I dont know what else could be causing. Please help

Im using a dell inspiron 4100, win xp home, systems about 4 years old. I think the warranty has expired.
