TP 770/E/ED - Error message - DVD Drive not ready or drive empty

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
When you attempt to play a DVD movie with SoftDVD, the error message "DVD drive not ready or drive empty" is displayed.

Solution:
Drive letters have been reassigned.
- Look in "My Computer" and note what drive letter the DVD drive has been assigned.
- Edit C:\WINDOWS\SOFTDVD.INI
- Look for the line that has "Drive =" and set it equal to your DVD drive letter, i.e. your DVD drive is G:, you would set the line to say "Drive = G:"
- Restart the SoftDVD program
