    Hi All,

    I hope you can help and Mods Please move this if I'm posting in the wrong place

    I'm trying to play a DVD on my Tosh Sat pro Laptop. It's running on Windows XP and I used to be able to play DVD's but lately I've got the following error
    "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer"

    Does anyone know where I can download the necessary.

    Thanks
    A

    Get VLC or MediaPlayerClassic, they'll play anything. MPC comes with K-lite codec pack. Google !

    see here vlc , http://www.videolan.org/ use media open disc in the menu, to play a dvd, it plays just about any video file ,dvd,avi, etc
    i can never play any file with windows media player ,unless its wmv format.
    or right click file ,click open with vlc .
    vlc is easier to use, free basic realplayer also plays dvds.

    Easy one to solve, the two previous posters have provided the perfect solution.
