...That's my problem. It simply will not play DVDs.

And that car analogy isn't even relevant.

Yes, the DVDs are legal. It just... won't play them. At all.

Windows Media Player 11.

How about Media Center?

(If you have it...)

*sigh* well "it wont play dvds" is of no use if you want help

do you put the dvd in an nothing happens or does it run the autostart menu

do you use windvd, windows media player, powerdvd, some other dvd tool

do you open the dvd with that tool an the screen keeps being black, are there any error messages

you need to give a description of what is happening

I put the DVD in, it asks if I want to use WMP to play it, I select yes. Movie does not play. Nothing happens.

I already said WMP 11.

No errors.

So I basically just explained what I have already explained: It does not play DVDs. Period. Nothing else.

Just so you know, I've been on this forum a lot longer than you, and know how to use the help forum. k? Step off my grill.

Disc is in good shape, and I have tried using Quicktime, but I'm only able to select the D: drive from it to OPEN it, and not PLAY it.
