Not a clue mate to be honest. You shouldn't be running low on RAM with 4GB and nothing else running!
My laptop came preinstalled with a DVD prog called Cyberlink Power DVD - I imagine that is downloadable, is it worth giving that a go until you get it sorted out?
You may need one of the add on decoders, Nvidia or Cyberlink etc.
I had to add the Nvidia one to my desktop only yesterday

lol yeah..if you cant get it to play..VLC usually makes it happen! hasnt let me down once. winamp is quite good now as well, well the latest release is IMO
I have to say although I've had VLC in the past I haven't bothered installing it since I found the K-Lite codec pack.
Perhaps there's some underlying problem with the settings but if it works then it works!
