I cannot play a DVD when using two screens
❑ When you use two screens at the same time (LCD and TV / LCD and CRT), the following errors will occur:
❑ You will see a Hardware Overlay error message if you attempt to launch Click to DVD.
❑ You cannot play a DVD with Windows Media Player version 9*.
❑ You cannot play a DVD with Real One Player. This is because your computer uses the "video overlay"
when two screens are in use. The software applications above do not support this feature, which is
why the problems occur*.
❑ You will not have a problem in the following situations:
❑ When you use a CRT or an LCD display on its own.
❑ When you play MPEG files which are recorded on the hard drive with Windows Media Player 9 or
RealOne Player*.

Depending on your model. Read the Specifications document for more information.

also vary depending on the type of format.
