chasmodem, did u try with other software to play the DVD? Sound like a Cyberlink PowerDVD problem to me.

when u put the disc in does it automaticly open windows media player with the movie? if so after the dvd is in close media player ,go to "my computer" then go to the drive your disc is in and right click chose explore or open in new window on the video files u see right click one of them and choose "open with.." then click browse and navigate to your c:/drive program files and look for power dvd u will need to select the powerdvd.exe also make sure the box is ticked that says always use this program to open this kind of file ......make sure u have the rite codec's installed as well this link is for windows XP video codecs http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm this one is for windows vista http://www.free-codecs.com/download/vista_codec_package.htm and this 1 is for windows 7 http://shark007.net/win7codecs.html

The standard version has Windows Vista® Home Basic Edition SP1. This version do not have native support for decoder to watch DVD movies. Install a good DVD player like WinDVD or any other DVD player software. This will install the necessary decoder. Once this is done even if the installed trial version expire, your windows media player will still play the movies. However, if you like the software, make it fully licensed version on-line. Hope this helps.

If it's a DVD movie that you cannot play then you need a special program like powerdvd to run it.

Windows media player will play very few DVD's on it's own. It needs to work in conjunction with a decoder. You can find a decoder, ie... Power DVD, WinVid, InterVid, etc..., at Dell's support site or filehippo.com. I use Power DVD on mine with no problems. Also, the configuration that you have will not have a noticeable or any effect on videos. They will play fine, once you have a decoder.

Disable the Bluecoat service from the Windows Service Control Manager. Remove the file bckd.sys under Windows system32 drivers directory. Reboot the box.

just open yr cmos battary on motherboard around 5 second, then your password will reset.

Absolutely! You should have changed the mouse and keypad first. That's a problem with many Dell laptops. Mine included.

I'm sure you already have checked this but it's worth a try. Did you check in the control panel area under the Power Options for how long it's set to time out the screen? Sometimes people don't know that they can change how long the screen will stay lit, then time out. In that same area you can set the time for timeout of the Hdd to sleep, closing the lid and what the power button actually does.
