You may have several problems.\n\nThe DVD player might not work because you some how corrupted your DVD drivers or the DVD program reinstall one or both from your restore disk that came with your computer\nif you do not have one download from the internet  do a search for dvd drivers\n\nsecond the browser is probable jammed up with adwares or spyware programs   also called trojan horses a type of virus \n\nbest way to fix that is to restore your computer to a time when it was working ok.\n\nhere's how you do it \n \n If you have windows XP you can restore it to when it was working ok. Click on start> all programs> accessories> system tools> system restore> \n\nSelect "restore my computer to an earlier time click next\n\nselect a date (with bold numbers) on the calender when you think your computer was working ok (the date you select must be a system check point it will tell you on the right if it is)\n\nclick next and continue until the computer reboots itself\nif it asks you do you want to restore your computer. click yes. the reboot cycle takes longer than normal\n\nwhen it is rebooted click ok \n\nif that does not work do it again with an even earlier date\n\nyou can continue doing this until you hit a date that works for you. \n\nyou can also restore it back to today's date if you do not like the results.\n\nbe blessed

you say you have downloaded to DVD already. if you mean the DVD wont play on your player the disc you are using might not be supported by your player. some will only play + or -. also did you finalize the disk when you burnt it?

You said CD... The install disk is most likely going to be a DVD.  Also check the tech specs.  Your hardware may not be up to speed.

Try cleaning it with special CD Rom cleaning kits.  They are a CD that you insert and just push play.  This fixes my CD problems most of the time.  If this does not work take it to a technician.

I had that same problem and what I did was download a player from the internet that would play the disk. be careful where you download from, I like Tucows and Major geeks or Download.com, no spy or adware.

There are quite a few factors as to why a driver won't read a disk. A lot of cd players and DVD players made in 2000 or before are not compatible with the CD's and DVD's made now. Some CD's have a different make up or quality where as your older ones will probably play in that driver, the new ones aren't recognized. Try putting it in a newer player to see if it works. Also, if it's a burned cd, some older players don't play those. Or the cd may not have been finalized after burning. Otherwise there might be another problem that I can't help u with and my have to contact your tech support or where u bought the product.

If you have a DVD drive ( I assume you do) just use your windows media player...works flawless. Make sure you update it to the newest version so that you have the newest drivers and codecs available.

Idiot Check,\n Does the DVD work in a different player - If so then the disk is not the problem.\n Try a different DVD - If the second disk works but the first disk does not then your disk may be "finger printed" -wipe it off.\n\nNone of those work then you do have either a hardware decoder or a software decoder?\n\nIf it is a software decoder then posably the drivers are messed up

Before you can play DVDs, you need to install a DVD decoder, this is mostly included in the DVD drive package if purchased separately , or it came with the system when you got it. If you don't have the Cd, try to ask your computer's manufacturer. If you can't have the CD, download the trial versions of PowerDVD from cyberlink.com or try other dvd decoders available online. Good luck!

Have you tried playing the DVD with another program? It might be that your DVD is scratched or something.\n\nGood luck

If your cd drive is a DVD reader then you should be able to use default windows software to play dvds on computer.  I usually watch DVDs with windows media player.  Also if you need other software hardware like that usually comes with some sort of disk.

Look into the configuration of your DVD player software. You may have to change it.

Most CD-DVD Are Plug And Play, Never Had To Have A Driver For These Devices...But When I Bought A New DVD It Would'nt Work Right Til I Installed The Power Dvd Suite That Came With It But I Still Dont Think That Has Drivers On It So...
