You need to take it back because those things have alot of defects in them so you need to exchange it for a new one.

Another possibility is the quality of the DVD+rw .  I have experience many times certain DVD working fine in one player but not in another due to disk manufacturer.

if there is a dvd in the computer there should have been software to play it if you have the discs that came with it look and see if its there if not go download one

clean it maybe with rubbing alcohol. and if it doesnt work. then the dvds too damaged or scratched to play.

Why do I get error C00D116A ("Cannot play DVD video")?\n\nThis error may indicate that your DVD-decoder software isn't compatible with Windows XP. For a list of supported DVD decoders, see the DVD Decoder Plug-ins Web page. If your computer has a supported DVD decoder, check for updated drivers for the decoder from the decoder manufacturer.\n\nOr you can try these dvd programs\n\n1.PowerDVD\n2.Advanced DVD Player\n\nTry this one 1st seeing as its a free one.\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/zmtft - Advanced DVD Player\n\nHope this helps

get the right drivers for it, you can get that at samsung.com maybe or it might come with a cd and make sure your combo drive can READ cds... it might be for burning\n\n or you might need a dvd watching programb

Try the link below "TMPGEnc DVD Author" - this is a trial version so you only have to upgrade if you are happy with it.\n\nHope that helps

in addition to the above:\n- is your DVD player region free, or if not, have it been locked by viewing more than 5 DIFFERENT regions DVDs?\n- do you have a propper DVD player software (that works/ed before)?

Before buying a new one, try this:  First, check the cables (power and ribbon) to make sure they're seated properly.  Next, using the Device Manager, RIGHT click on the drive that's shown, and choose "uninstall".  Say "Yes" to the next question.  Then re-boot, and if the drive is working, Windows will find it as "new hardware" and install the drivers for it.  If it is still not recognized or not working, then sure, go ahead and purchase a new one.  By the way, you might as well get yourself a DVD drive if you're getting a new one, since it'll handle both DVD's and CD's as well.  Good luck.

I don't know what your question is.\nMaybe you need to update firmware, look up your drive on internet and search for firmware update.\nMaybe driver, same as above.\nMaybe it is ok but you don't have or know how to use software used with DVD.\nTry to re post with more information.

You probably need a decoder to get it to work.  (I am assuming that the DVDs you are trying will work in another player).\n\nGoogle "dvd decoder for windows".  Lots of sites will have decoder info.

Yep, you need 3rd party software to play DVD's in WinXP.  You need to be a lot more specific with what you mean by "not working."

The subtitles are in the software not the hardware.\n\nI would doubt there is any DVD which is set up in the software to display subtitles the way you suggest so that would make it impossible for the hardware to do what you want.\n\n///

You can take a soft paper towel and rub it in the CD or DVD and it might work
