Playing DVDs with WinDVD
InterVideo WinDVD is an application that enables you to play
DVD movies. WinDVD is preloaded on the tablet PC, but not
preinstalled.
Installing WinDVD
Although WinDVD can be installed by following the prompts that
appear on the screen the first time you insert a DVD, Compaq
recommends that you install WinDVD from the Software Setup
utility before inserting a DVD.
✎
Some DVDs contain third-party DVD player programs such as
PCFriendly. If you insert a DVD that contains a third-party player
program
before you have installed WinDVD,
you are prompted
to install that third-party player program and not WinDVD. If
you prefer to install WinDVD, decline the third-party player
installation, usually by pressing a No, Cancel, or Exit button, then
close the installation window.
To install WinDVD from the Software Setup utility, select Start >
All Programs > Software Setup > InterVideo WinDVD > Next
button, then follow the instructions on the screen.
Accessing WinDVD Help
Instructions for using WinDVD are included in the WinDVD
Help file. To access the Help file:
1. To open the WinDVD window, select Start > All Programs >
InterVideo WinDVD > WinDVD.
2. Select the Help button. (The icon on the Help button is a
question mark.)
