General issues WinDVD controls are disabled. Controls may be grayed out by commands on the DVD. For example, it is common for DVD movie titles to disable fast- forward and rewind during the legal notices at the beginning of a movie. Playback performance is poor. The use of DMA dramatically increases the DVD playback performance of your system. To make sure DMA is turned on and check its settings: The “Root” or “Title” menu does not open. Most DVD titles have one or both of the “Root” and “Title” menus. If one menu button appears to do nothing, try the other menu button. WinDVD performance decreases after making a system change. DVD playback performance is dependent upon several system resources. Some software changes may also impact playback Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide 223 performance (for example, downloading new drivers from the Web). Before installing a new hardware or software component on your system, check for any potential conflicts between its resource requirements and your current system configuration. Also, if you change your operating system, check with your PC manufacturer to ensure that you have the appropriate drivers for both your hardware (for example, the graphics card) and software (drivers must support the operating system and DVD with WinDVD). Slow playback performance. DVD playback is a resource intensive application. Other applications and/or changes to your system hardware, software or configuration can impact playback performance. If playback is slower than normal, try the following: 1 Close any other open applications to improve the performance of the DVD playback. 2 Make sure that your display driver resolution, color depth, and refresh rate are optimal for DVD playback. (Some systems do not support video overlays if these parameters are not optimal.) Try lowering these settings to improve performance. 3 Make sure DMA is turned on: 1 Open the Start menu, then Control Panel. 2 Double-click the System icon, then select the Device Manager tab. 3 Open the CDROM device folder, select your DVD-ROM device driver, then click Properties. 4 Select the Settings tab, click the DMA check box, then click OK. The system must be restarted for this setting to take effect. 4 Check the CPU speed if running on battery power. Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide 224 Content issues Movies exhibit poor performance of “Director's Commentary” or other similar optional content versions. Some movies may exhibit poor performance of these features. In particular, the video portion of the movie may become jerky or show pauses. The normal version of the movie will not show this problem. WinDVD will not function properly with “debug” software installed. The WinDVD application will not function properly if it detects that debug software is present on the system. Remove the debug software to restore functionality of WinDVD. Minimum system requirements WinDVD performs best when the following recommended components are present in your system: . DirectX® Foundation 6.0 or higher (Source: Microsoft) . DirectShow ® 6.0 (Source: Microsoft) . 2x DVD-ROM Drive with DMA enabled installed in the Slim SelectBay Developing good computing habits This section suggests some good habits to develop so you are prepared if things go wrong. Save your work frequently. You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing you to close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many software programs build in an automatic backup, but you shouldn’t rely solely on this feature. Save your work! It only takes a few Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide 225 moments, and it could save you many hours of work to recreate files. On a regular basis, back up the information stored on your hard disk. Files held in your network partition will be backed up for you, but you need to back up any important files that reside only on the Tecra’s hard disk. Here are a few ways you can do this: . Use Windows to copy files to diskettes. . Connect a storage device to the system and use specialized software to copy all your data from hard disk to a tape. . Connect the system to a LAN and copy files to some other location on the network. Some people use a combination of these methods, backing up all files to tape weekly and copying critical files to diskette on a daily basis. If you’ve added software to your system, you should back up the software as well as the data. If something goes wrong that requires you to format your hard disk and start again, reloading all your software and data from a backup will save time. Read the manuals. It’s very difficult to provide a fail-safe set of steps you can follow every time you experience a problem with the computer. Your ability to solve problems will improve as you learn about how the computer and its software work together. Get familiar with all the manuals provided with your computer, as well as the manuals that come with the programs and devices you purchase. Look in your local computer sto...
