If Something Goes Wrong
Fixing device-related problems
Before installing a new hardware or software component on
your system, check for any potential conflicts between its
resource requirements and your current system
configuration. Also, if you change your Operating System,
check with your PC manufacturer or your graphics card
vendor to ensure that you have the appropriate drivers for
both your hardware (for example, the graphics card) and
software (drivers must support the Operating System and
DVD with DVDExpress).
Slow playback performance.
DVD playback is a resource intensive application. Other
applications and/or changes to your system hardware,
software or configuration can impact playback performance.
If playback is slower than normal, try:
1 Closing any other open applications to improve the
performance of the DVD playback.
2 Ensuring DMA is turned on. (See
performance is poor.
3 If you have installed new hardware (such as a new
graphics card or audio card), ensure the component's
drivers support Microsoft DirectX
DVDExpress. Contact the manufacturer of the
component.
4 Verifying that your display driver resolution, color depth
and refresh rate are optimal for DVD playback. (Some
systems do not support video overlays if these
parameters are not optimal.) Try lowering these settings
to improve performance.
