I have the HP laptop, with 1024 mb RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, and LightScribe 8X DVD+R/RW drive with Double Layer Support. I am using InterActual Player and I receive the following message "Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. Lowering your screen resolution or color depth may fix the problem." I would be very thankful if you help me.

I bought it six months ago. I aldready restored my laptop last week, and I would be able to watch DVDs too.

Thanks for that adsims2001, I hope that will work. Well, sorry for that confusion you had but it was not my mistake, I just put a ".", not a "?".Did you ever notice that every Question in Yahoo!Answers has a "?" at the end and sometimes two question marks too.

right click on your desktop and go to properties. and then on the top look for a tab that says setting... there you will find the resolution settings.

Let me explain a bit--
This problem is probably caused by codec issues. A codec is a piece of software that encodes and decodes (usually just decodes, on consumer computers) video and audio streams so they take up less space (without encoding, a simple movie would be around 20GB)
Most media players require that you have codecs installed separately from the media player--but one player, VLC, can play virtually any file (Including DVDs) without bothering with codecs. Try it, you'll like it...
And by the way, you don't end a sentence with a period AND question mark. That's just painful to read.

Lower the screen resolution or check the driver on you video card. Make sure it is the right one.

Check whether the driver has been loaded properly. Otherwise get it check by experienced mechanic.
