To play DVD's on my PC and watch them on my TV.

I have a Dell Dimension 5150 PC and a 32 inch Philips Pixel Plus 2 TV, big, heavy, silver and on a silver stand (in other words, not a slim LCD or equivalent). I recently bought a cable with red, white and yellow jacks at each end and connected my PC to my TV using the appropriate sockets at the back of each. Oddly, my PC hasn't recognised the addition of these connections? I can't find the user manual for the TV, even on the net! I am at a loss as how to best proceed from here, unless I get someone in. But that could pose another problem, do I look for a TV or a PC expert? Regards, Peter.

    I use Windows Media Player to watch dvd on my desktop and on my big screen tv. Recently, the codecs for the player were fixed and since then I have only sound on tv and no picture. Please help.

Sound is to low

If you feel this is not right for the tv then you need to send it back for repair or replacement. If you feel that it gets as loud as it is supposed to and you would like more volume then you will have to amplify it through a stereo system.

Need graphic card upgrade for Dell Dimension 4500 w/ pixel shader

This is an older machine that has a 4x AGP port for graphics cards. The good news is that cards for this slot are cheap...usually in the 30-50 dollar range. The downside is that you wont get the greatest performance out of them. I would recommend going with a Geforce FX 5200.

Dvds wont play on pc

You can install another DVD player software.
there are plenty of free players on the internet that you can download, or you can buy one at your local software dealer. Once you install this, the newer video codecs should be installed

DVD drive bay

yes you should be able to play CD on the DVD reader.
Dimension 2400 have drive slide mounted on the side of the hard drive, cd drive and floppy. they are different for each device. you need the 2 side mount for the dvd. in order to mount them in the Dell.
the drive is inserted from the inside of the box toward the front. The front panel will prevent the device from pop out.
yes, 3 party DVD, CD drive will be shorter and fater that what Dell porvide, but it will work, al long as the opening is accessable.
get the HP DVD driver.

Media Edition DVR Recording

It is most likely due to a media codec issue.

These issues are often difficult to remedy since many different software applications and plugins will install codecs.

Try reinstalling the DVD decoder (probably Sonic Cineplayer, and make sure the update is installed from Dell's website) support.dell.com downloads for your system, or http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R143248&fileid=191233

I usually do not like to install more Codecs, but you could install a Codec pack such as http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm

Hope this helps
