laptop probs

edina

Please could someone help me, since yesterday I've been unable to load through my laptop.I leave it for ages but nothing, the little loading bar keeps on moving up & down but nothing. I tried to reload windows vista this morning & still nothing. Any other ideas? thanks
Also while here, on my main pc, why is it that some dvds will play sound on windows media player & some won't?
Thanks in advance

Reboot and press keep pressing F8 during the boot sequence, a menu will appear- select Last know good configuration.

This May solve it, assuming it will boot this far.

When you say to tried to reload Vista do you mean by reinstalling it?

It could be the format of the files on the DVD .
Most DVD discs are MPEG 2 but you may have DivX or Xvid two name but two formats. You would require your computer to have the correct codecs to play them .
What spec are the dvds you are trying to play ,home made copies shop bought downloaded movies ???.
