Ah. Traps for young players. No region was set on the DVD drive. Having set it, I can now play DVDs and the above errors have gone away! Surely all the players shouldn't crash and die under this senario, though? Is this the srt of thing that the kerne should handle ore elegantly? Or is it bugs with the dvd players? cheers dc -- David Purton [EMAIL PROTECTED] For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a
