Please help...I can no longer watch my dvds :-(

[Guest]

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 and I can no longer watch my
dvds. I keep receiving the below warning message. I have tried changing the
resolution to 800x600 with 16bit and it still does not work. I tried several
dvds, still nothing :-( All was operational with WMP 10

Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then
try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings."
