===========================================
To play a DVD
On the Play menu, point to DVD, VCD or CD Audio, and then
click the drive that contains the DVD.
In the Playlist pane, click a DVD title, or chapter name,
if appropriate.

Notes

To eject a disc, on the Play menu, click Eject. If you
have discs in multiple drives, point to Eject, and then
click the name of the disc that you want to eject.

To play a selected title in a DVD repeatedly, on the Play
menu, click Repeat. A check mark appears next to the
command to indicate it is turned on.

To play DVDs, you must have a DVD-ROM drive, and a
software or hardware DVD decoder installed on your
computer. If you do not have a compatible DVD decoder
installed, DVD-related commands, options, and controls do
not appear in the Player and you cannot play DVDs. By
default, Windows does not include a DVD decoder. For more
information about DVD decoders, see Windows Help.

If the DVD video image appears upside down, try
increasing the video hardware acceleration. There are two
video hardware acceleration settings: one in the Player,
and one in the Windows operating system. You must change
both settings. To change the setting in the Player, on
the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the
Performance tab. Move the Video acceleration slider to
Full. To change the setting in Windows, open Display in
Control Panel, click the Settings tab, click Advanced,
and then click the Troubleshoot tab. Move the Hardware
acceleration slider to Full.

This feature is only available on select versions of
Windows. For more information, see Special features.

Greetings --

Does the laptop have a DVD drive installed?
