Playing DVDs with WinDVD
InterVideo WinDVD is an application that enables you to play
DVD movies. WinDVD is preloaded on the notebook, but not
preinstalled.
Installing WinDVD
Although WinDVD can be installed by following the prompts that
appear on the screen the first time you insert a DVD, Compaq
recommends that you install WinDVD from the Setup Compaq
Software icon 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 a No, Cancel, or Exit button, then
close the installation window.
To install WinDVD from the Setup Compaq Software icon:
■
In Windows XP Professional, select Start > Setup Compaq
Software icon. Select InterVideo WinDVD > Next button,
then follow the instructions on the screen.
■
In Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Home,
❏
If the Setup Compaq Software icon is on the desktop,
select the icon > InterVideo WinDVD > Next button, then
follow the instructions on the screen.
