Question about playing a DVD on my notebook with an external DVD player?
I have a small Acer laptop with a 10.1 inch screen. Because it’s so small, it doesn’t have a DVD player built into it so I bought an external one that hooks up to it through 2 usb ports.
I wanted to now what programs I need to download for my laptop to play DVDs or run some computer games.
Also, I was wondering if my laptop could even support certain games. It has an intel Atom N450 processor (1.66GHz, 512KB Cache). It has 1GB of RAM and 160 GB HDD. Right now I am running Windows 7 starter on it. I know it won’t be able to support games like call of duty or battlefield 2. But will it be able to run simpler games like the Sims, or even some dumb casino games?
Any answers to any of these questions will be greatly appreciated.
You should be able to just plug it in and windows will look for drivers to use the device…
After that, it will recognize it as a drive and act as if it were onboard your computer… To play videos, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, etc…
Running computer games should be as simple as slapping in an install cd for the game and running it as if the drive were on your computer.
