dvd decoder

[tinyA360]

hi all,

so bought a laptop of ebay, was told the dvd player works, it didn't.
so i loaded several decoders (powerdvd,windvd) only to be told to change resolution or colour, i did but still an error message pops up saying i need a valid decoder?!!!

any help please

p.s also it tells me that no vga is installed yet shows on explorer

Try downloading and installing codecs

Strange..Are the drivers for the video card installed or does it just have a "default VGA" driver? Whats the resolution set at?

just uploaded decoder, dvd now works, but, sound is intermitant and the picture seems to have a time delay?
any answers would be grateful

System specs? Your system may just not be fast enough.

What are you using to play them?
