Cannot play DVD with Windows NT.

Issue:

Cannot play DVD with Windows NT.

Cause:

Because Microsoft Windows NT was primarily designed for a business environment and with the lack of multimedia / DirectX support, most manufacturers do not support their DVD software in Windows NT.

Solution:

  • Contact your computer manufacturer and/or DVD manufacturer to verify if any software is available for Windows NT to allow the DVD to work.
  • Make sure Windows NT is running the latest Service Pack.
  • Consider other companies who develop DVD software compatible with Windows NT as shown in the below list.
  • Consider utilizing a different operating system such as Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
