>Subject: Laptops that don't project?

Hi,

I've just learned that the Toshiba laptops we check out to faculty will
not project video (from a DVD or web-based video). Apparently they are
missing some kind of special software that will allow that. One of our
instructors has a less expensive Computerland laptop that will project
video just fine. Does anyone know the generic name of the software
and/or a brand name that will help us track down what we need? (Imagine
the wrath of the instructor, having checked out the laptop expressly for
showing a DVD or some other video clip, having schlepped the laptop to
the newly wired classroom, made sure the projector cart was there, etc.
etc, and then not being able to make the video visible for the class? )

Thank you!
