hi
i hope i`m posting in the correct group. My problem is
that i can`t get any dvds to play in my pc. I`ve only had
this pc for a few weeks as i`d bought it from my brother.
Media player won`t play the dvds also i`ve tried windvd
and that doesn`t work either. I do remember one error i
had, something about administrater rights, which i am. I
tried to change the region code to region 2. No regions
had been selected at all and it says i have 5 changes
left. When i tried to change the region that`s when the
error comes up, other then that, when i put a dvd in
nothing fires up and it doesn`t show in my computer that
anything is in the drive. I can play audio and other cds
fine.
