    DLoad the xLite Codec pack and see if that solves the DVD playback issue...
    Codecs like drivers should never cost money.


    Thank you. DVD Player now works!

    ...
    1. All of the yellow exclamation points are gone except the one by Ethernet Controller. This is surely stemming from my inability to run the Intel Pro 10/100. When I download it and unzip it nothing happens (every other driver I have unzipped has automatically booted into an install program). This one does nothing, so I went into its folder and tried to find some sort of setup icon, but nothing was there. There were two .din icons in that file, but my computer is unable to read them. That might not be relevant though....
    Right-click inf file and select Install.

      For the ethernet controller you might try this

      I tried "this" and it didn't fix the Ethernet Connection driver. However, it did result in a 25 minute windows update when I restarted my computer. I have never had an update go more than 2 minutes. Should I undo this driver or is it harmless. If I should, how do I undo it. Thanks.

      This may sound stupid, but why do I need this intel pro 10/100. It sounds to me like it is something for the internet and my internet is working just fine.

      The driver should have nothing to do with the windows update. You will need the ethernet controller if you ever need to use a cabled connection instead of wireless.

        Right-click inf file and select Install.

        I don't see any inf files. Its odd, there appears to be an uninstall file but no install.

        Have you tried right clicking on the ethernet controller in device manager and clicking on update driver? Try automatic first. If that doesn't work try pointing it to the folder you downloaded from Toshiba.

          you have wisdom beyond your years. The automatic search didn't work, but the second option did. Thanks to everyone for their help!
