Doing that on a bunch of old W7 PCs ATM, currently on a PC that failed an inplace upgrade. This is what I've done so far:
Uninstalled all old programs that are no longer needed
Deleted old userprofiles
Ran Windows Disk Cleanup and removed all the crap it saw
Removed all USB devs except kbd and mouse
Upgraded BIOS
Upgraded Video driver
Upgraded various other drivers
Over the years I've found if you upgrade video drivers and/or BIOS upgrades usually go ahead, provided that the PC is physically capable of being upgraded.
Did you get an error code / message??

You will need a PDF viewer program. If you have this it should work.

You should only require Adobe acrobat reader to view both the download link and the manual and the built in functionality in windows or OSX to uncompress the zip archive of the manual.

How do they work on a lazer reader? Any suggestions?
Nah mate, you'll be wasting your time imo. Out of curiosity does the broken DVD player have any audio inputs? If so, you could just run the sound from the cheapie into the surround sound and be done with it.
