pmclaine Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 When I set my machine up in May I used the video as a guide. I placed the disc in the DVD slot of my computer and it played. I'm prepping for a caliber change on my machine. I put the DVD in the slot and can not get it to run for some reason. The computer is telling me the system does not have the drivers. I'm running an older version of Windows (2005 or so) on a Dell Inspiron 9300. Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to get the DVD running? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

benos Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'll move this to the computer forums (and leave it linked here) in the hopes of it getting better exposure. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmclaine Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Thank you. Has to be operator error. I found a simple solution - pulled a lap top from another location and seems to work fine. Maybe it time to update the house lap top - Nahhhh! just bought a new spotting scope forget that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKSNIPER Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You can go online and download the drivers for most software at NO cost. The drivers are useless without already having purchased the software at least once and you can usually update most software without much of a fee.

pmclaine Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thank you for your time in replying. I tried the auto download search feature on one computer and it didnt work. At the time I posted the question I had forgot about the work lap top I have. I gave it a try and the DVD plays fine. It may not be a totally approved use of work resources but at least I'm not downloading porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 If your running XP or newer you should give VLC a try. It has replaced all other media players on all of my computers. Its that good, no more silly drivers either! http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
