Double check that the data surface of the DVD is CLEAN - really clean. use an audio CDROM cleaner to clean out the drive itself (the CDROM in the computer, not the CDROM disk). Attempt it again. You might want to test it with other DVD's that you have to see if you can get past the point at which you're crashing, or finish the movie in it's entirety. Obviously, if you can finish another DVD completely, then something is slightly amiss with your Dr. Who DVD. -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales ----------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free :: Crashing is NOT an option.

Go to one of those really cheap discount stores where they sell plastic furniture in colors visible from the planet Neptune and where they have a food section specializing in cardboard cartons full of Raisinets and malted milk balls manufactured during the Nixon administration. In either the hardware or housewares department, you'll find an item imported from an obscure Oriental country and described as "Nine Tools in One", consisting of a little handle with interchangeable ends representing inscrutable Oriental notions of tools that Americans might use around the home. Buy it. This is the kind of tool set professionals use. Not only is it inexpensive, but it also has a great safety feature not found in the so-called quality tools sets: The handle will actually break right off if you accidentally hit yourself or anything else, or expose it to direct sunlight. -- Dave Barry, "The Taming of the Screw"
