You could always replace all other media players on the system and get free DVD playback by finding some freeware called Media Player Classic; It give you al the functionality of the current Media Player, minus the overly pretty graphics. And, it plays DVDs, and with the right codec pack - I reccomend the K-Lite pack - You can play just about any other media format.

DVD drive + Windows XP + Media Player = no go?!?
I have the same problem with my DVD not playing on my Windows XP SP2
computer. I have a Compaq Presario 7110US! Since going to SP2 I cannot play DVD at all, when I insert the DVD it tries to load but it does not open up so, I try to open it up by going to my computer and clicking on my DVD Drive and error message says "please insert a disc into Drive E but, the disc is already in the Drive. I also, have WinDVD that was installed on my Computer when I bought my Computer so, why can't I play any DVD's. Before upgrading to WinXP the DVD was working. Is it possible that the WinDVD will not work with WinXP SP2. Thanks.

Which version of WinDVD do you have? Have you looked for updates at its
website at www.intervideo.com? WinDVD is not a program that is written by Microsoft, it is one that is purchased separately. If your PC manufacturer chose to include in on your PC then you will have received a copy on CD. You may need to reinstall it. Look in your PC manual for instructions on how to restore individual programs. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "Linda" wrote in message ...

Cari,
I have just installed Active X, and WinDVD Update from the HP website. HP emailed the information and I installed those per their directions. After installing I restarted my computer then I tried to play the movie that I have and the same message appears as before. I have the latest Active X and WinDVD is 5.0 Thanks.

The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by. "Thank you Mr. British for to let my family and me stay here... " Again, he's interrupted before finishing his sentence. "I no be British, I be Turk!" He goes a little farther and meets another person and greets him "thank you for letting me come to your beautiful country." ... "I'm not British, I'm Kosavon."

Yelling "You son of a bitch!" he shot the amorous salesman in the groin with a .12-gauge shotgun. The screaming salesman quickly took off for town to find a doctor. He found one, but the physician took one look at the man's perforated pecker and told him that nothing could be done for him. "Oh, please do something," begged the salesman. "I'm a rich man and can pay you anything." "Sorry, son," said the doctor. "There's nothing I can do. However, there's a man across the street who might be able to help." "Oh?
