Windows Media Player not playing DVDs

dulpit · 2008-07-05 16:20:16

Hey, my sister rang me this morning saying her computer will not play DVDs in Windows Media Player, i did a quick google and it says that windows may not have a DVD decoder. According to the windows site you have to purchase one, is there a free thing to do??
