CD or DVD Drive

Symptom

Problem

Solution

CD/DVD drive cannot read a disc or takes too long to start.

DVD player performance is poor when running other programs simultaneously.

Display is corrupted when playing some DVD movies.

The DVD drive takes longer to start because it must determine the type of media being played before it can start.

DVD playback requires large amounts of processing power; therefore, the system cannot process other tasks simultaneously at maximum performance.

Copyright material at beginning of movie causes momentary corruption.

Wait at least

30 seconds to let the DVD drive determine the type of media being played. If disc still does not start, refer to the “Online Help and Support” section found earlier in this chapter.

To provide maximum performance, close all other programs while playing DVD media. It may also be necessary to restart Windows to free all resources.

Wait a few seconds for video corruption to clear up. If it does not clear up, then stop and restart the DVD movie.
