is anything else running on the laptop when you play the dvd?  Could be your processor and or memory can't keep up with the dvd.  Does the DVD play normally on a regular dvd player?  if yes, then the problem is with the laptop and I would take it back .  Without knowing your processor speed and memory that's the best advice I can give you.

Stay away from Laptops. \n\nIf you are serious about gamming Laptops are not the way to go.\nThey produce way to much heat and are hard to upgrade. For around $600 You can get a pre built system with a 200 GB Hard Drive. 1 gig of Ram A DVD/CD Burner An AMD 3500+ processor.\n\nBut whatch out for the ATI or Intergrated Graphics. YOu can get a nice video card for arouns $150 more if you buy one with Intergrated Graphics in it.\n\nCheck out www.newegg.com if you want to build your own or looking for a video card.

The 1 GB of RAM will allow the system to run fast and should have no problems with multiple applications running. Size of HD is good for a laptop.

Take your Compaq and either sell it or trap shoot it, then buy something with a SOYO board in it.  There is only one thing worse, and that is a Dell.  I have had several, and refurbished several and had nothing but problems with hundreds of them.\n\nWindows 2000 also is kind of unstable, especially in a Compaq.  It is like hiring two crackheads to work together!

I always recommend computers with AMD processors, because in my experience and my husband's experience, the Pentium processors run hotter. If you plan to run a laptop as a primary computer, or use it for extended periods of time where it's actually working (like rendering 3D images as opposed to office documents), the first thing I'd worry about is heat.\n\nOn the box of the game, you should find the minimum recommended specs. I personally recommend a gig of RAM and a 1.5gig or higher processor, but there's always a "sweet spot" in the computer market. Go there. For example, you may find that a computer with a 1.5 gig processor is a certain amount of money, 1.6 is $75 more, 1.7 is $200 more. There's no need to get more than you can afford if it's more than you need. ;)

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory. In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $700 (after a $100 rebate).\n\nThat would be my pick but if you think you can get by with 256MB of memory then you can go as cheap as $549 but I don't like that laptop because it has a 15.0" display. The next one up has a 15.4" display but still only has 256MB of memory. The first link will take you to the Acer and the second one will take you to the whole list. My preference is the Acer but that's just me.\n\nI wouldn't even consider a Dell.  I like laptops from Acer, Toshiba and HP.

See Below for a link to HD-Out cards.\n\nThe video card won't matter for TV watching but it will matter for DVD playback.  Even if you aren't going to game, some low end video cards result in choppy playback.  It depends on how much you want to spend but I like the GeForce 6600 or 6600GT with 128MB of memory.  If you go for the ATi camp then a Radeon 9600XT should be fine.  I know for a fact these provide smooth play back.  Though it depends on what type of connection you were going to use.  Most video cards have S-Video out but it depends on what you were planning to use.\n\nIt also depends on if you are going to use PCIe (PCI Express) or an AGP slot for the card.\n\nI would (depending on the type of connection you want to use) buy a seperate video card and get a PCI TV tuner card, if you have a spare PCI slot.\n\nFor HD-Out cards, see this page but stick to the guidlines above for the GPU, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=2328:14100&bop=and&order=PRICE\nMaybe you missed it, the above link will take you to a bunch of cards that have HD-Out.

Seems liek your buying aPc instead of a laptop....well u defintly need at least 1 Gb of Ram in  it...other than that i would personally advice you to go for an intel dual core processor they are the latest processors and the most effective. if you store or download a lot of media files you would need at least 160 gb of memory . Dell computers are one of the best  i think. they have reallygud monitors too.. if you get a dell it will mostly come with a monitor so that shouldnt be a problem. other than that  windows media centre home edition is a gud operating system,  if you are  gamer u SHOULD give very much importance to graphiv card. i would advice you to get a Nvidia Geforce card they come in different prices  depends on how much you would really use them. i have listed below the site to dell & a few other brands. how this would help you. Best of Luck..!!! :D

you should have a high cpu, Ram and Video card\n\nGHz mean the speed that computer analyis information so get the higher CPU you could \n\nmemory is the amount of data that the CPU deal with per second so the big ram you have the faster laptop u use\n\nhard drive: big hard drive = u could put more data on it "the size of hard drive measured by giga byte"\n\nvideo card: must of game need 128 VGA card to be played in your PC\n\nmy advice to choice laptop with \ncpu about 3.2 centrion\nram 512\n128FX video card\n80G hard

most of windows and linux..don't worry, it doesn't require a lot. just make sure you have at least 256Mb RAM, for better speed performance. it won't be any good if u have less than 128Mb RAM

I would go with....\nProcessor: AMD Athlon 3800+ (Get AM2 motherboard and chip)\nRAM: 1 Gig\nVideoCard: For what you are doing, a Radeon X1200 or so.\nHarddrive: 80 gigs should do it.\n\nHonestly, if you don't know what to put in the computer, I think you shouldn't be starting this kind of business.  Also, check on the legality of renting computers with video games installed on them....

basicly,ok,but  wery litle info on the components,my recomendations: look for a CPU with more L2 cache (more you have->faster it is),more Ram memory the beter,an graphic card (PEG or PCI-Express) with VIVO,HDD would do it but uf you intend to work with video intensivly consider biger.....as i said basicly it`s ok but there are more than just writing an 2.0GHz for an cpu,lats sayyou`ll need to supply the manufacturer,model...etc...

I would go for a computer with an Intel duo core. It is as fast or faster than an amd 64 processor. If you want to get ahead of the maket though, look for Intel VIIV technology. Intel VIIV is designed for multimedia applications.\n\nGhz: anywhere between 2.0 and 3.0 is good\nVRAM: 256 mb is good\nram: 1 gb is good\nhdd: 150 gb is good\n\nFor all computers there are a lot of things you need to think about when purchasing. Dell, HP, Gateway, and other computer manufacturers will try to make it as simple as possible. Go with one of their media center PCs.

Well you gotta get some specs on it. The proccessor speed and the RAM is where you gotta look. 128mb RAM is the miniumim but if your not much higher then that I wouldnt bother because its still going to run slow. Let me know what your specs are and ill let you know what i think

You have a great media player. I use Winamp 5.23, for any audio songs, and I think it's excellent. Windows media player 10 is definitely a superb one, if you want to burn things. \n\nIf you want to see DVD movies, you should have PowerDVD 6 or latest one. \n\nThere are two other media players, Quicktime & Real Player. These are good for enjoying media online.

If you just bought it, than I suppose that it's 4GB of RAM, so if that's the case than yes, it will make it run fast... because it will rely less on the hard drive to be accessing the data... but a PC depends on several components. Basically, the most performance related components are the CPU and the RAM (the video card just in case you play new games).
