Laptop - Dell M1330 4gb/200gb/2.2Ghz/128 MB Geforce 8400M GS
Playing DVDs on Windows Media player (and tested on Realplayer) on laptop running from battery all fine for a few mins then screen goes blank and systems doesn't respond to anything, have to do a reboot.
Running on mains is fine.
So, suspected some sort of Vista power management "feature" thats gone awry?
Using "high performance" with all power saving (HD, Display etc) settings turned off it still happens?
Very frustrating as one of the reasons for getting the laptop was to watch DVDs on the go...
Any ideas/suggestions?
