    Is anyone able to play DVDs using Windows Media Player or do you get error messages?

    Problems with DVD's are most of the time a codec problem.
    Download the free Klite codec pack and it probably work

    Thanks Guys, after doing some reading I think that it is a codec problem, I will try them and see what happens.
