No i bought season 4 of stargate atlantis off ebay then found out its region 1 ie usa and and canada (ntsc) not "pal" like here and the uk..

Paid 60 bucks for em but his ad stated that, so i cant really send em back as i should of known better thats why i thought sod it buy ps3 and they will play on that rather than buy another set of dvds....

so dont know what to do now....

depends what cable, vga?dvi?hdmi? , what sort of laptop is it? should be fine as dvd's dont need a high resolution.

Toshiba dont know about the leads though think just the usb style ones??

Just tried playing the dvd on here and it needs a decoder to play it on were can i get them free and safe with nio virus attached??

usb type cables wont work, it needs to be either the same one you plug a monitor into (vgi/dvi). i would presume the laptop would have either vga or dvi connections. check your tv to see if it has the same, it will say in the manual.

On back of laptop it has 3 usb sockets a modem socket like phone plug and another like the phone plug oh and two long ish sockets with loads of pin holes in them?????

Just buy a cheap ass dvd player as most of them are multi region,
they can be had as cheap as $50 nowdays.
