HD DVD problems

One of my friends bought a notebook from HP. I don't know the model off hand, but is has all the goodies, including a HD DVD player. She has had ALL kinds of problems with this notebook though, and has even sent it back for a new one. The replaced notebook is having problems as well.

The HD DVD drive will not play HD DVD's. I know there is a difference between Blu Ray, and HD DVD's. This is not the problem. It just freezes. I thought to download a .net framework, but don't think this will help.

In my opinion, this is not a problem the notebook should have. I need help, I am very good with pc's but don't know what to advise in this situation, as she has already sent it back once.

Any advice is good, thanks for your help.

Hi Joe-

This HP notebook isn't playing HD DVD movies, it could be the codec of the player - have you doubled check the latest codec player for the system?

It could be something as simple as downloading the latest codec driver in order to play the HD version.

JMHO - of course.
 
Yea if it's new, then it's probably not the machine itself that is malfunctioning. Check the codec. Btw, can you even get free HD DVD codec off online?? - Maybe, but I don't know much about HD DVD codecs... Try to search on the http://www.free-codecs.com
