    It takes a little bit sometimes to get someone that can help you on your thread...

    From the sounds of it, you need a dvd decoder installed. A program like power dvd or another like it. Toshiba should have given you something when you bought your computer, you should check your disks.

    I usually don't offer help on WMP issues (because they are easy to search for and WMP is such a lousy program) but...I'd use VLC Player instead, or install and configure FFDShow, IIWY.
