very broad ... do you mean a dvd movie?  if so, as long as it has a dvd drive, just insert the drive, and it should prompt you to play it.

There is usually some standardization in the industry for monitor to computer connections.  I took a Gateway monitor and had no problems in connecting it to a Dell computer.  You would most likely have no problems either!

You can do it through (Dell) MusicMatch CD burner.  avi's, mpeg's, etc.  But you have to "upgrade" to be able to burn a data disk.  It's about $20, and they just send you a code.  See if you can just get someone else's code.\n\nIf you don't have MusicMatch, see if your CD-burner program has that feature available.

What type of movie clips are you trying to view?  What is your equipment?  If you're on an Intel, check and see if the plug-in is universal.  If its not, you will need to run your browser using Rosetta.  Here's how:\n\nFind the browser's app in the Finder and click on it\nGet Info by pressing Command-I or File>Get Info\nclick the check next to "Open using Rosetta"\n\nIf that works, I would suggest making a copy of the app, and having one run natively and the other on Rosetta.

The first thing you have to do is buy a DVD burner (if you haven't already). You can know if you did by looking on the drive and seeing if it says DVD+/- RW. If it does, than it should come with software called Sonic MyDVD. It's pretty simple, but you can add onto this question if you need any more help. If you don't have a DVD burner, you can get one from Dell. Click on the link below to chat with someone about that.

You can't. You need a Dvd driver in order to read the DVD. Besides that, you also need software to install but usually comes with a new DVD or DVD/CD drive or preinstalled on pretty much all of the new computers.

Dell Media Direct is probably a Dell download or driver.  Try this:\n\nwww.support.dell.com\n\nCheck out their drivers, they probably have free downloads.\n\nDescription: If you have Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition or Dell Media Experience installed, you can use Dell MediaDirect to launch your media application by pressing the play/pause/Dell MediaDirect button. If you hold the media control play button for longer than two seconds while you are logged in, Dell MediaDirect launches Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition or Dell Media Experience, depending on your system setup. If both applications are present, Windows Media Center Edition will launch. When your computer is open, you can press the media control play button to start the computer from any state and automatically launch the media application.

You can get those from the support website. If your Computer is a Dell try there site and so on.. just depends on the computer. or if you have the original software that came with the computer it will have it in there

Most Dell computers come basically stripped of many drivers you will need to surf the net efficiently you may need to install java on your new Dell... they give you a good bargain on the computer components but they lack many items when it comes to the operating system :D I have had 3 Dell computers and have had to install java on all machines... go to http://java.sun.com/  and download their java and install it, its one of the fastest as far as java goes and you should be able to load the yahoo games and play them :D ;) another way is to go to the www.Dell.com  website and download missing drivers as you need them it took me a solid week to install all the drivers i needed.  Hope this helps!

It seems that the video isn't the problem, perhaps your drive got corrupted when you took the computer apart.\n\nOr maybe Dell hates you.
