To play commercial movies, I understand you need software.

http://www.google.com/search?q=Readi...%20DVD%20media http://www.google.com/search?q=Mat****a%20CD%20CW-8121 More food for thought.. What media brand name and type (DVD-/+R or DVD-/+RW) are you using..? Since you can read commercial disk media ok, says the drives read laser works, that's great.. You might try disabling the inbuilt XP cd burning capability and load Nero on the laptop or just InCd if your using DVD-/+RW media.. See previous posted link by Ed Bott.. You are using Nero on the desktop computer, right..? j;-j "Ronald E.
