playing DVDs
If you experience poor playback, such as skipping, when playing DVDs with DVD Play or

Windows Media Center. Windows Media Center automatically adjusts the display for
the best screen resolution to allow optimal DVD playback.
a Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, click All Programs, and
then click Windows Media Center.

a Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, click Control Panel, and
then, under Appearance and Personalization, click Adjust screen resolution.

c Click Yes.
d Try playing the DVD again. If the playback is still poor, repeat steps a to d until a
better display resolution is found.

NOTE: Having a higher-end computer graphics (video) card and increasing computer
memory may also improve DVD playback.
