Windows Media Player Problem...

djwoody — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 17:08:28 GMT

I am unable to play DVDs in Windows Media Player.

The message I am getting is:
"Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings."

I have tried all resolutions etc, can anyone help?

Thanks
Chris

Hey dj woody

Unfortunatly Windows Media Player or more specific Windows XP cannot play DVDs without the help of third-party software, There are loads of great free dvd playing software available to download over the internet
