Hi to all
I have just installed new DVD writers into the kids pc's
I did not get a cd with the writers for drivers
one of the writers works fine
The other i am unable to get a good picture
The picture is all blocky and funny colours
I have tried playing around with the pc settings in displays
but to no avail.
so i am stuck
what i have done...
I tried my dvd writer in the dodgy Pc but it was still the same.
so i am now thinking it could be the graphics card but not sure
It plays all other CD games like sims but when i have tried a DVD its not happy.
so am i thinking its the Graphics card or is ther another setting I don't no about.
Should i need a driver to get the DVD writer to work or should windows XP find it.

if you can help
regards bobs

Sounds like a bad writer/rom. Try and find the specs for it and download the firmware and re-apply. If that doesn't work, I'd return it.
