No DVD will play on CD drive!!!!!!!!
So what can you tell us about the DVD from your laptop DVD drive?? John
Why can't I get a multimedia DVD to play on my CD-RW drive? It opens the contents of a 3.5" SOFTWARE DVD-ROM easily, but the drive doesn't even detect the 5.25" multimedia DVD that I want to play.
I've tried this not only on my desktop's CD-RW drive, but also on my laptop's DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive. But the multimedia DVDs are never detected in either.
