     To all the responders to my post, many thanks. I did get the program
     to work via reloading it, but then it did the "illegal operation"
     thing in windows 95. I ended up wiping the disk clean and installing
     Win 98. Installing all the drivers was the hard part (IBM's Win98
     setup disk helped), but it was worth it. Win 98 is a lot more stable
     than 95.

     I'll get around to installing NT next week. The 770 is a great
     laptop, but it is big. I think I'll leave it on my desk. Linux, too,
     one of these days.

     Happy Holidays

     Neil

Greetings,

Well, I got my new 770ED yesterday and already there's
a problem.  I'm
 hoping somebody out there can tell me what I'm doing
wrong.  After I turned
 it on I registered the Win95 software and set the preferences
(time zone,
 etc).  First thing I wanted to check out was DVD
playback on the 14.1 inch
 screen.  Unfortunately, two discs that I tried were
unplayable.  The SoftDVD
 program says my country and region codes don't match! 
And, there's a nice
 "X" next to Region one (USA).

I call IBM and they suggested I format the drive and reinstall
>from the
 recovery CD.  This I did but it didn't help. 
What is going on?  I know the
 CDs are region one; they play fine in a TP 600.

Any help would be appreciated.
