To play DVD movies

If your notebook came with a DVD drive, it also includes DVD player software that lets
you play DVD movies.
• Click Start, All Programs, Multimedia, DVD Player, InterVideo WinDVD. (The name
of the DVD player program can vary.)
–or–
Click Start, All Programs, Windows Media Player.
If you need to install the DVD player software, click Start, Run, type
C:\HP\PROGRAMS\DVD\SETUP.EXE, then press Enter.
DVDs have regional codes embedded in their disk data. These codes prevent DVD
movies from being played outside the region of the world in which they are sold.
Most DVD drives let you change the region code only a limited number of times (usually
no more than four) to allow you to set the proper region code for your area. Please note
that when you reach this limit, your last change to the region code will be hard-coded on
the DVD drive, and will be permanent. Your HP warranty does not cover the expense
of correcting this situation.
Refer to the help for your DVD player software for details about setting region codes.
The DVD player in your notebook performs to high and advanced specifications. It
would not benefit from the installation of a software program called "PC Friendly" that
is included with many DVDs. HP recommends against installing PC Friendly on your
notebook, as it can cause your DVD player to perform erratically and produce errors. If
this happens, uninstall PC Friendly and restart your notebook.
