have media player 10 on the work laptops. (fairly locked down so cannot really upgrade)
anyway we have Dell lattitude D620 laptops with XP on them. one of the lads has a dvd with some AVI files, ( a few episodes of the Sopranos)
media player will launch then but will only play the sound and not the picture. my own laptop (same model) has an external Dell (1907FP0 monitor and the files play fine. only seems to be when you use a laptop without an external monitor.
Why is this?? would have thought in this day and age laptop monitors should be well able for avi files.
and
anything I can do to help this chap out apart from giving him my lovely monitor?
