PiPiFFS Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Download Gom player. A very good player and plays anything you throw at it. It is free but just remember to untick any boxes during the installation asking whether you want their search engine etc. If Gom doesn't play it then it may be your drive at fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Is the DVD itself working? Can you hear it spin up? They do fail and can be replaced at low cost or a USB model attached - most people do not use computer DVD's anymore - many new units do not even have them. No there is no time limit on the software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogNo1 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sounds like your five-year-old Compaq may need replacing. You obviously have additional problems besides the machine's DVD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
