If all else fails do a system restore and set it back to a time your PC was working OK, you'll find it in "start" "control panel " "performance and maintenance" Right side panel "system restore"

is anything else running on the laptop when you play the dvd?  Could be your processor and or memory can't keep up with the dvd.  Does the DVD play normally on a regular dvd player?  if yes, then the problem is with the laptop and I would take it back .  Without knowing your processor speed and memory that's the best advice I can give you.

do you know how to uninstall the dvd player.. it may some time help..  If you are using windows Xp,  right click on my computer \n ->properties -> Hardwares  -> Device manager -> DvD/CD , Expand it and you may find the driver... right click on it and click on uninstall. Once you restart your computer it will automatically install the system drivers.. Try that way.  Or else you could find some patchs for the appropriate drive with your Vendor.

try using a different “working” CD/DVD to make sure that the problem is not with your CD/DVD

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.

It has to do with the Codex of the DVD.  Some DVD are R+, some R-, some have other codex.  You have to know what your DVD can play back.  Is it a machine that can only playback certian DVD's, or all?  If your DVD is not compatible with the way your DVD Burns, then you will not be able to play it back unless you purchase a DVD player that can read the codex that your DVD burner uses.

What type of disc did you use? In case it was DVD+R, not all DVD players read this format!\nFirst check what kind of discs the players support.

Could be the fact that disc you used was faulty

We'll need more information to attempt to answer your question.  The DVD-Rom drive should be able to read CDs.  If it doesn't there are many possible causes.\n\n1.  Failed DVD-Rom drive.  Will it play DVDs?\n2.  Virus or spyware infection.\n3.  Various anti-pirating software from commercial CDs.\n\nSo, when did it stop reading CDs?  What were you doing when it happened?  What software had you just installed?\n\nAnswers to these questions might help get you an answer.

Well there is a problem with your DVD decoder. U will hav to download a new DVD decoder. Open windows media player> Tools> Download>Plugins\nU will get a list of DVD decoders. The best way is to download any other DVD player like WinDVD, Power DVD etc\n\nDVD

No, this is caused by hardware changes to your computer.  Windows has a built-in feature which requires you to reactivate your product code after a given number of hardware changes have been made.  By adding a new DVD player, you exceeded the limit for hardware changes, and you have to put in the windows CD key again.  Hopefully you still have that, because if you don't, you might be in trouble.

I can't tell you what's wrong with it, but we always had a similar problem with playing DVDs on our computer. So we used a different player (InterVideo Win DVD) and that works. My best suggestion would be to try out the same .mov in Windows Media or Real Player.\n\nBTW, are you playing off of a disc, or your computer? That might affect the playback.\n\n\nOK, well... If it's on your computer, then I can only recommend trying another player.

I think it's saying you don't have the right codec installed for the files on the DVD. Here's a popular free player that might work:\n\nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Looks like you need a new dvd drive.  It should play with not a problem.\n\nOh, wait.  Did your computer come with OSX?  If not, and you upgraded, then you could need either more Ram, or a faster processor.  You can replace the ram, but most macs can't have their processor upgraded.\n\nTo find out better info, go to MacOSXHints.com ( i think that's it.  it's been a while.)  They have loads of mac genius' that can help.

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
