Installing the IBM DVD hardware decoder device driver for Windows 2000
(ThinkPad 770, 770ED, 770X, and 770Z models)
To install the DVD hardware decoder device driver for Windows 2000, it is required that the
IBM ThinkPad 770 DVD and Enhanced Video Adapter (P/N 10L1228) be installed.
The DVD hardware decoder enables you to play DVDs on the ThinkPad models 770, 770E,
770X, and 770Z under Windows 2000 Professional. However, the DVD decoder device
driver is not included with Windows 2000. After this device driver is installed in your
computer, you can enjoy smooth DVD playback on the above computer models. The
standard Windows 2000 DVD player application can be used in combination with the IBM
DVD hardware decoder to play DVDs on your ThinkPad computer.

the IBM DVD hardware decoder device while running Windows 2000. This combination
is not supported under Windows 2000. To play DVDs through the IBM DVD hardware
decoder, use the Microsoft standard DVD player application (DVDPLAY.EXE) included in
Windows 2000 Professional.
