Still it can not run any vedio file you should better to download vlc player and install it.
Hi, use the driver cd which came along with your laptop and reinstall the audio driver from it. After that reinstall the real player as well if needed.
After that everything should work fine. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks
Windows XP does not natively have software to decode DVD video (thus the garbled video). You need to install a third-party DVD codec. Typically with Compaqs it came with PowerDVD or WinDVD that, once installed, allows you to view DVDs using their viewer or even media player.
Look through your CDs that came with your PC and see if there is one for WinDVD or PowerDVD and install it. Sometimes it will be on a CD labelled drivers or additional software.
have you checked all leads?if they are all correct and undamaged check that you dont need an spif lead or yellow rca connector,then try watching on a different tv with same movie player ie dvd or video if this works there is a fault with the telly if it dosent theres a fault with your player,its a process of elimination check all componants and cross check that means tvs dvds videos and all leads.
Solution: Well i could recommend another free video player instead of Windows Media Player 11. In this case, try installing Real Alternative, VLC, GoomPlayer all lf them support DVDs format.
I recommend Real Alternative over all 3 of them, to get it go here: 1) http://www.videohelp.com/tools/real_alternative and click on the "Download (mirror)". 2) after download is complete start the installation make sure to UNCHECK the following checkmarks during installation: Active X, and pluggin for firefox/opera/chrome/etc. you can leave the rest of the installation as default and click next all the time. 3) whenever you want to play a DVD close WMP 11 start Media Player Classic (installed during the real alternative installation, there should be a shourcut icon on your desktop for Real Player Classic now) on Media Player Classic go to File>Open DVD and you should have picture and sound.
Another extra side note of Real Alternative is that you can also play real media files (.rm, .rmvb) without having to install the nasty Real Media Player application
heres a suggestion go back to xp service pack 2. service pack is very easy to use and more compatibility than sp3. right now my 10 pc's are all xp sp2 and they have no problems about the sound.hope that helps
Realplayer is ok for small .wav files and for browsing videos on the internet, but for watching a dvd i would use either Power DVD or Windows media player as they have all the supported sound and video codecs
Some media players have truoble reading different dvd depending on how they were burned or the file quality.
you need a dvd player program that is designed for dvd playback I use Cyberlink powerdvd to play dvd's on my pc you could look for another player out there but windows needs a codec to play dvds with sound.
hope this solves your problem
