Hi Mike,
I have a Toshiba Satellite 911 with a Trident
CyberAlladin video system...and it plays DVD's on my TV
without any problems...
Try to find an updated driver on drivers.com, this has
saved me a lot of times already...
Or try to re-install the DVD player software, as I don't
believe it to be a driver issue since it plays the menue
intro from the DVD...
