What OS was installed on the laptop you. Are you using the W2k?
To my knowledge that some thing like, which could occur if an external monitor is connected and extended desktop is enabled in the display properties.

I found also some useful tips on different websites:
Please check the following steps:

1. make sure that the laptop hardware acceleration is set to full.
Software DVD players require this setting; otherwise, they can take advantage of features of superposition of the video card.
Here's how:
-Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Properties.
-Select the settings tab, and then click the Advanced button.
-Select the performance tab.
-Make sure that the hardware acceleration is set to full.

2. make sure that DirectDraw acceleration is turned on in the DirectX utility
-To start the DirectX, you must type the DXDIAG command in the window RUN.
-then select the view tab.
-in the Middle, on the left side, you will see a frame for DirectDraw acceleration. It must be enabled

Then restart the laptop and check if it of possible to watch DVD

  • Hello. How can I watch DVD movies on my new iMac?

    Hello.. How can I watch DVD movies on my new iMac?

    You need to buy an external DVD drive. Apple made one, or you can buy a third-party DVD player.  Amazon has many others and OWC (www.macsales.com) have too many choices.

    iMacs have not included DVD players with them for the years also remember, you can only watch regular DVDs. If the movies are Blue Ray, OS X will not support, in other words Blue Ray is not visible unless you buy a Blue Ray software.

    When I try to log the p2p soulseek site, I get the error message "connection failed: socket error.» change the connection settings. How can I fix it? Is - this type of error called a winsock error?  It keeps happening to me on this site. What I've read, it happens when you make changes to a program before concluding that under its weight. Could it happen because I'm deleting files, I don't think that will be completed while the other files are D/Ling? That's what I'm doing wrong? I found a solution to correct an error in Winsock that is to enter the "command prompt" and type "netsh winsock. Will this work?

    How can I display an error message on the listening port close popup without closing the popup.

    Thank you

    Roy

    As its name suggests, close listener of popup is called when popup is closed so you can not do this.

    If you want to display the popup message, use your own buttons instead of the ok/cancel default buttons and close the popup programmatically.

    For weeks, I receive the error message "download failed. Network failure. "for a particular item in a folio. I looked for answers to what it means, and I have not found information that helped identify the reason why this error continues to display.

    Today, it has been updated every hour until I apply a hyperlink to text and download failed. Whenever I met this error message, was after something different, there is no common action or point where the update fails.

    It became very frustrating because I have trouble shooted as much as I can, and my client is also frustrated that this keeps not carry out the project.

    Thanks in advance.
