Don't know if anyone might be familiar with this problem. I have a Presario with a "compaq sd-612b" dvd rom (actually a samsung, but you know how compaq is).

The POS came with Windows ME (nuff said), so I installed 2000 Pro. Got WinDVD, compaq dvd player to play DVDs from the rom. Worked for the LONGEST time with little problem (aside from adjusting resolution down to 800x600 from time to time).

Now... NOTHING!!! I cannot get a dvd to play in this rom. I don't know what changed or when, but now I get a strange message from the compaq player, and when intervideo interactual player (popular add-on to recent retail dvds) tries to install, it tells me the "dvd navigator cannot be found."

As soon as I can, I will get back with the specific compaq dvd message.

Suffice it to say-- I've tried to play dvds now with windvd and powerdvd, as well, and both claim i must change my resolution. Unfortunately, that message persists no matter what resolution, color setting, or refresh rate I try...

Anyone?
