vaio zone won’t play my dvds no more, and it did before. now i have to use windvd ugly interface to do so. all i remember doing was uninstalling click to dvd and dvgate plus. now, when i load a dvd and try to play it with vaio zone it just won’t: vaio zone opens but that’s it. the dvd does play if i open the it with intervideo windvd 5 for windows. anything i can do to go back to vaio zone?

i already did this: updated vaio zone from the vaio-link site. i also tried to get windvd to reinstall it, but @ intervideo’s site there’s no windvd “for vaio”. can i just dld windvd 8 (which is the last one)? i also read somewhere that windvd 4 also works with vaio zone.

thanks.

You will need WinDVD for VAIO and WinDVDX installed to watch DVDs with VAIO Zone.

ok, thanks. but at the intervideo website there is no such thing as windvd “for vaio”, and i can’t get it from vaio-link simply because it is not available for my model. will just any windvd work? what if a i get the last one (8.0)? somewhere i read 4.0 will work… any ideas? thanks again.

oooops, sorry. by dvdX you meant exactly that: windvd for vaio (which i do have installed) and just any other version of windvd, right? so if i just get windvd 8.0 it should work… sorry about my beginner-ism.

Hi,
WinDVDX is a separate application that needs to be also installed. WinDVD 8.0 might not work with VAIO Zone, as WinDVD created a specific version of its software for VAIO computers. You mentioned it worked fine before… what did you do differently this time? Usually when you install VAIO Zone it comes preloaded with those two apps.
