Basic Operation

Operating Your Computer

	To play DVD movies
	If your computer came with a DVD drive, it also includes DVD player software that lets
	you play DVD movies.
	• Click Start, All Programs, Multimedia, DVD Player, InterVideo WinDVD.
	You can also use Windows Media Player to play DVD movies.

Important	DVDs can have regional codes embedded in the disc data. These codes prevent DVD
	movies from being played outside the region of the world in which they are sold. If you
	get a region code error, you are trying to play a DVD intended for a different region.
	Most DVD drives let you change the region code only a limited number of times
	(usually no more than four). When you reach this limit, your last change to the region
	code will be hard-coded on the DVD drive, and will be permanent. Your warranty does
	not cover the expense of correcting this situation. Refer to the help for your DVD player
	software for details about setting region codes.
