Hi veggirl...
What makes you say the DVD drive is broken? Can you describe the problem you are having with it in a little more detail?
So far as I know, most home DVD Players will not connect to a computer.

A few months ago it started being picky about the quality of dvds it would play, but very sporadically. It's gotten to the point now that it won't play any dvds, except high-quality, and even then, only for a few minutes. I reinstalled everything on my hard drive and am still unable to play dvds. It does recognize every other type of disc, however.
Any ideas?

Oh, then it isn't a new drive. There is a few ways to hook up a DVD player to a moniter, but I would just save up the funds as it is not too expensive for a new drive and would be a lot more convenient.

a 3 year old computer isnt prehistoric, maybe some system upgrades couldnt hurt. i went to the dell web site and found 2 pages of fixes and patches an general upgrades for your particular model. i dont think it would hurt to have a look. there might be new life waiting for your d v d player at the bottom of page 1

I have upgraded my BIOS and my video adapter. The problem remains. Any other suggestions?
