windows media player 10 dvd decoder????

[Guest]

Hello,

I was recently asked to update my windows media player, so, I did. Now I
have a newer version of Windows media player but is does not play my dvd's.
It comes with a message saying
"Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder
is not installed on your computer."
Can anyone shed some light on this and advise how i can get this to work???

Many Thanks
Jacob

Easy. Reinstall the DVD player you had when you used the previous version of
WMP.

WMP does not come with the capability to play DVDs. It never has. It gets
the codec from any other DVD player you install, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
Install any one of those and WMP will be able to play DVDs.
