I am having problem in playing DVD in my TR5. I can play CDs and also Burn CDs….but when i insert an DVD and no doubt whatever DVD player i use i get the error of Screem resolution too high reduce it and reduce the colors.I even tried doing that but no avail….....

Which DVD software are you running? Default software?

CyberLink Power DVD or Windows Media Player or WinDVD

You have both WinDVD and PowerDVD installed at the same time?

Anyways, what’s the exact error message? Can you post a screenshot of it when it shows the error? Are your video drivers up-to-date? Do you have any other video codecs installed that may be interfering?

Earlier I ahd only WinDVD installed….....but it was giving the error of high screen resolution and minimize teh colors…....so i uninstalled it and installed PowerDVD…......but still same error.

Even in Windows Media Player it gives me the error
“Try reduceing the screen resolution and the number of colors and than play the DVD again”

I have codecs like teh DIVx and the Vf6 codecs installes and my Windows Media Player is also up to date

I wonder if it’s related to DirectX issues or driver issues. You may want to force Windows XP to reinstall DirectX9 again and reinstall the latest video drivers just to make sure the video playing files are ok. It sounds like some of your system files may be corrupt.
