Got a chance to finally try and play a DVD on this beautiful new 17" Powerbook, and got to the part where it says "since you are running this for the first time, choose a region" and was pre-filled w/region 1... Anyhow, clicked ok or next or whatever was there, the app popped up a stop sign w/an explanation mark... "Dvd player encountered a serious error", only option is to quit... Went to Apple's site, nothing there, anyone know how to reinstall this app or what I can do to troubleshoot/fix this? Restarted (I know, it isn't Windows) but that didn't solve anything. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Rey :)

I've found a ton of stuff here that is very helpful, if any of you guys find fixes to your own probs, chances are someone else is having that same prob. Glad I could help, but believe me, I've been helped more than I've helped out here :)

Rey!
