Studio 1535 DVD Playback issues
Whenever I play a DVD on my new Studio 1535, the video freezes. I can't close whatever program I'm using (and I've tried several, all do the same thing), but if I eject the DVD and reinsert it, playback resumes (only to freeze again later). The weird thing, though, is that although the playback is frozen (video & audio) the DVD is still actually playing -- if I eject the dvd 1 min after it freezes, I have to rewind 1 min of DVD; if I eject it 15 mins after it freezes, I have to rewind 15 mins of DVD.
I've tried WMP, Dell MediaDirect, Interactual player, RealPlayer, PowerDVD, all to no avail.
I've been watching the Friends DVD's, and I initially thought it was just them, but I have the same problem with normal movie DVDs as well. With the Friends, I can sometimes go through an entire episode without issue; sometimes it'll freeze only once in an episode; and sometimes it'll freeze every 3 minutes.
Anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening??

- I have similar problems with my DVD drive (Studio 1535). It freezes randomly. i.e. reading one disc it blocks at 50%, same disc next time it blocks at 30%, same disc next time is read with no problems at all. Could be a hardware problem or a vista problem. I hope there is a solution. Somehow this problem disappeared for me without intervention. Perhaps it was just dust. I wish you luck.Message Edited by bomark on 09-03-2008 06:04 PM

I was afraid it might be a hardware issue :(Hooverdl:
Yes, but after OS boots the touch sensitive keys are released.
While reading other problems with CD/DVD I found a posible solution (could bo only temporary):
Shutdown, unplug power cord, remove battery for about 10 minutes. This could stop unusual startup DVD behavior.

I began restarting with no services (go to start-> run -> type msconfig--> go to startup and disable all the services) restart... test the DVD, then I went adding the services one by one...leaving the troublesome one out.. maybe this works on your one tooMessage Edited by fr4nk0bz on 08-24-2008 10:28 AM
