Regular dvd-rom drives ussually don't read DVD-RAM...\nif your disc is type I, a regular DVD-RAM drive is required to play it, but if your disc is either type II, type III, or type IV, you will need a DVD-RAM drive for "Cartridges"

Sony doesn't provide DVD playing software with their PC. I'm also using Sony VAIO. You've to use softwares like "Power DVD" or "WinDVD" to play DVD. If you've those software and can't play DVD then better re-install windows. Install Graphics card's driver. Then try. If it fails again, then need to replace DVD drive.

This is Yahoo Answers, not Yahoo sermons, thanks. It's more likely you have the region settings for your dvd player wrong than that god has smote your laptop. A lot more likely... It's also possible that the DVD has copy protections and wont allow itself to play on a dvd rom, only a dvd player. You'd need some program to bypass the protections in that case.

just because a computer says its "not reccomended" doesnt mean anything. go ahead and use a third party dvd player. just be sure that it doesnt come bundled with spy/mal ware.

You can check the minimum specs on the box itself or right the id software website.  From what I see your machine will handle it on lower settings.  You will need to throw that video card in first.

Sounds like a problem with the drivers. Try re-installing the drivers or look online for the latest drivers for you particular DVD drive. You may have installed drivers for the wrong operating system, if you have XP then make sure that you install the XP drivers.

Sounds like your having a RAM problem, You could try adjusting the games you are playing, so that they don't use up so much of the memory in 1 whack, other than that, unless you install more ram then ye can't play yer games\n\nR3dm0

Its not the computer, its the driver.\n\nLook on your CPU and see if you have a DVD driver. It should say DVD on it. If it just says CD-ROM then you cant burn DVDs.

Windows Media can play DVDs, so if you have Windows Media, and you still can't play DVDs on your computer, it's probably because your graphics card doesn't support DVD playback.

Before you can play DVDs, you need to install a DVD decoder, this is mostly included in the DVD drive package if purchased separately , or it came with the system when you got it. If you don't have the Cd, try to ask your computer's manufacturer. If you can't have the CD, download the trial versions of PowerDVD from cyberlink.com or try other dvd decoders available online. Good luck!

Play it with another player like nero showtime or power dvd if you have these and see if that helps.

yu had a dvd player of some sort on it, now it is gone or not working, You need to install a dvd paling software like windvd or power dvd to get the dvd codec installed, and then media player 10 will play them

Windows XP should automatically install the standard IDE drivers, you should not need anything else.\n\nIf you are having memory problems, open up your device manager and remove the DVD player. Restart the computer and have it find the device again.

is anything else running on the laptop when you play the dvd?  Could be your processor and or memory can't keep up with the dvd.  Does the DVD play normally on a regular dvd player?  if yes, then the problem is with the laptop and I would take it back .  Without knowing your processor speed and memory that's the best advice I can give you.

it can be the problem with that particular new dvd that you are trying to play on ur DVD-ROM, try some other dvds on it. u can use powerdvd 6.0, it is the best software available to play dvd.
