After installing new window XP on my computer, it can't play the DVD anymore. It can only play CD but there is no sound. Do I need to buy a new video card and a sound card?
Help! Thanks a lot in advance!|||You may have forgotten to install all your drivers. They should be on your RESOURCES cd - or check your original computer's documentation for info on them.
HTH!|||no its just u need to install the drivers for the speakers and stuff and ur codecs|||Go to the control panel, go to systems, open up hardware then device manager. You will see with a yellow warning what devices are missing drivers. If you have like a Dell, Acer, Compaq, HP, any of those store bought brands, they come with a restore disk. If you ignored the restore disk and just purchased XP (OEM) and loaded, you will not get the drivers. You will have to go to the manufacturers site to determine what the drivers are to download, oh and also the software, like nero to run the DVD.
Now if you have a custom built machine, hopefully they gave you the disks for the drivers. If not you will have to use a digital camera and take pictures of the boards and blow them up to determine what they are so you can search on the webstie for the respective boards and download the drivers.
You might need some help here, if you don't understand computers.|||go and download unknown devices run it on your computer it can help you find the drivers you need and also will search the internet to see if it can find them for you. Then download the Klite Kodec pack to allow your Windows Media player to play dvd files|||Play DVD sounds like a movie, which requires a player program like WinDVD. XP should be able to read data files from the disc just fine.
Can you hear music CDs? If not, check out your sound drivers.
