CD and DVD Software
Playing Video CDs and DVDs with WinDVD
InterVideo WinDVD is an application that enables you to play
DVD movies or Video CDs. WinDVD is preloaded, but not
preinstalled, on the notebook.
Installing WinDVD
Compaq recommends that you install WinDVD from the
Software Setup utility before inserting a DVD.
✎
Some DVDs contain third-party DVD player programs such as
PCFriendly. If you insert a DVD that contains a third-party player
program before you have installed WinDVD, you are prompted to
install that third-party player program and not WinDVD. If you
prefer to install WinDVD, decline the third-party player
installation, usually by pressing No, Cancel, or Exit, then closing
the installation window.
To install WinDVD from the Software Setup utility, go to Start >
Software Setup. A setup wizard loads, and a list of applications is
displayed. Select WinDVD and follow the instructions on the
screen.
