Tips & Warnings
If your DVD does not play, ensure that your Windows Media player is updated, and a DVD encoder is installed on your computer. Without these, the DVD may not run. Also, ensure that the DVD you want to watch is from your region number, as DVD players will not recognize DVDs from outside of their particular region code.
Blu-ray DVDs will not play on your HP computer, unless you have a Blu-ray DVD player installed on your system.
