Probably because you have too much crap running in the background eating up your ram. Multi tasking doesnt mean you can run everything but the kitchen sink! You only have so much ram, your PC can only run so many apps!

Hi, my son and I both have acer laptops. I got a cheap £400 one and he's got a fancy dual core. Neither of us have tried running a dvd so will give it a go. One thing I have noticed on my laptop though is its was running about 60 processes when I checked the task manager. All I have put on mine since I got it is ms office and a decent anti virus. Didn't fancy the Norton one that the acer comes with as it checks absolutely everything and slows your machine down. I would have a look in task manager on your machine and stop all of the processes you don't need. Go to start, then run, type in msconfig, enter. Look at services and start up. Hope this helps

hmm, well first, i would check the cd out, and then test the drive by testing music in it. after that, i'd check on my graphics settings to make sure they can handle the movie. if these fail, i would try to run a movie from a website, like a snippet to see if its all video media or if its the drive.
once this has concluded, it is either the drive/computer (take it in for warranty work or replacement), or the cd/dvd is faulty.

I have similar problems with my Acer laptop. It works fine for anything else. I just don't bother with DVDs on it.

hello. as above turn somethings off when running a DVD. also which program do you use to play them. are you using CyberLink PowerDVD? if you are try this run the program., when it opens right click on the screen the select configuration then go to video and select enable hardware acceleration if it's not selected.
