What really confuses me is that it plays BEAUTIFULLY on my portable dvd player. I had company over once and they had never seen a portable dvd player, let alone Avatar. Well, the colors blew them away.

That's why I wanted to watch this on my computer. Big screen. etc.

Anyway, I have an UPDATE on all this nonsense.

Because I tried absolutely EVERYTHING I know to try, I just took a walk over to the computer guy. I started the conversation:

"Now it's agreed that BEFORE I brought my PC into your store, the dvd thing worked, right? he said Absolutely.

I then walked him through step by step what I did today. He said "and it plays the same way with ANY dvd that you put in?" I said "exactly, and it doesn't matter which player I use, whether it's windows media player, real player, vlc player, ANY PLAYER!!

He said "do you want to do the remote thing?"

I said 'you know, it's just easier if I unplug the whole thing, and bring it in and give it to you. He said "I'll do a diagnostic and we'll get to the bottom"

And he won't charge me because it worked BEFORE I brought it in to him.

So sometime this week, I shall unplug everything. I'm getting it all on my Flip, so when the times come to re-connect, I don't have to drive my crazy saying "Now where does this usb thing go, and where does the printer cable go"

I'm a visual gal. I like to SEE things in order to make them work or connect.

Anyway, thanks very much for all the input.

And I understand why you go to the library.

I only hope that with all this new digital phenomenon going on, that the Library itself doesn't become obsolete.

Take care
