Windows Media Player is currently unable to play DVD video. Try decreasing the number of colors displayed on your monitor or decreasing the screen resolution. For additional solutions, click More Information to access the DVD Troubleshooter. I am running windows xp pro

Hello,

I have found this software http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Will play just about any media format, Movies or Music.

I have used it for clients who have un-installed Video Codecs on their laptops and cannot play DVDs because of this, and do not have the re-install disks to put the codec back. VLC media player does it all.

Good luck

EDIT: oops, put the wrong link in there!
