DVD Playback

[Guest]

Two issues, one problem.
I used to be able to play DVD's in my DVD Drive. I HAD a program (Interact DVD?) that played them and I could also play them in Windows Media Player. Now that program is missing and WMP says I don't have a valid DVD decoder and I don't know how to download one (without paying the $9.99). Can anyone give me a clue what to do here
Thanks

Do you have the program DVDPLAY.EXE (from Microsoft) in your system32
folder. Is it not working?

Ask your OEM for another copy to install, or check your install disc's that
came with the PC and see if it's on their.

That would just launch WMP. The app known as DVDPLAY is gone.
