Problem
The DVD drive takes
longer to start
because it must
determine the type of
media being played
before it can start.
DVD playback
requires large
amounts of
processing power;
therefore, the system
cannot process other
tasks simultaneously
at maximum
performance.

Solution
Wait at least
30 seconds to let the
DVD drive determine
the type of media
being played. If disc
still does not start,
refer to the "Online
Help and Support"
section found earlier
in this chapter.
To provide maximum
performance, close
all other programs
while playing DVD
media. It may also
be necessary to
restart Windows to
free all resources.
Wait a few seconds
for video corruption
to clear up. If it does
not clear up, then
stop and restart the
DVD movie.
