I just got the Lenovo Yoga Ideapad and was wondering if the start menu is customizable. I would like to add a photo for the background or just a different design. Also, I see that when watching a movie, it makes me watch it in media center NOT windows media player (i dont like it.)
thanks!
Answer
The start screen has a number of backgrounds to choose from but you can't add your own by default.
Thankfully someone has stepped up to the challenge and created a program to do the job.

Windows 8 doesn't have movie DVD playback by default. You can buy a separate DVD playback program or you can download VLC. I suggest VLC, it's free.

No dvd audio in Windows media player or DVD / CD roms?
HI, i have had this problem for a long time now and cannot fix it. I have no audio with any movie dvds in windows media player 11 AND no audio with CD-Roms or games. I have this problem with only windows media player which i can solve by downloading another media player BUT i do not have sound with any CD's or DVDs. Also i can hear movies that i have downloaded from the internet they work fine with audio. Its just mainly CDs or DVDs that have no audio with windows media player 11. Also i cannot hear game sounds aswell. Please help!
Thanks!
Ive downloaded a number of codecs from solutions Ive tried to use from the internet and nothing has changed :(.
And Fug-azi I opened up my computer and i think the cable might be the problem, as there is a cable loose just like the one you posted but i do not know where to insert it to on the motherboard. There is a possible socket which i insnerted it into and when i tried to start my computer it wouldnt start :/.
Answer
You need the audio cable fitted from the back of the DVD/CD player to the socket on the motherboard. For games, movies etc that reside on your hard drive the cable is not required as it is included in the stream, on a CD or DVD the audio is in a seperate stream.
the cable looks like this

You need to get hold of the technical manual for your system, once you have it look for the picture of the motherboard layout, on it should be a socket labelled AUDIO, that is where you need to plug it into.
If you post your system maker and model I'll try to find the manual for you.
