Need some help here......

Question

I was trying to play a dvd on the pc. Our old puter would do this but this is new puter. I have nero, so I thought would be no prob but it won't play. It will play dvds I have had copied on dvd fab from earlier but when I put in a bought dvd it won't play. I have a regular dvd drive and also a dvd burner. Why can't I play any. Is there maybe some codecs I need. I went to microsoft and used the validation utility and all that and was told that nero is not compatible. Any suggestins? I just shelled out bungh of money for new dvds thinkin I could watch them.

Thanx for all the help I may get.

Depending on the OS you are using, Media Player 10 and higher can display DVD, but you will need to install a plug-in found on Microsoft's website.  With XP a number of programs are cautioned as questionable, but that is big brother looking out for you and most of the time you disregard the pop-ups.  Previous OS, such as 2000, allow most any program to be installed.  If there is a conflict you will find out soon after installing the program.  

Back to your question:  go to Microsoft, download the plug-in, use Media Player to view your DVD.
