Do I need a DVD software to read data files on DVD?
Hello!
I have a Compaq Presario 1212CL laptop which has Toshiba DVD-ROM drive. I installed Windows XP Professional. The DVD-Drive can read CDs but not DVDs (not movie DVD but just data file DVD). I contacted Compaq and they told me to install WinDVD. After installation, I can read the data files on DVD. Is it normal? Do I need to install software to read data files on DVD? I thought the DVD software is for decoding DVD movies. Please teach me. TIA Sam |

Your data DVD probably is recorded in UDF filesystem format newer than WinXP
recognize, and WinDVD updated the UDF driver. "Sam Sungshik Kong" wrote in message ... Hello! I have a Compaq Presario 1212CL laptop which has Toshiba DVD-ROM drive.
