What player do you use to play DVDs?

[DanaLouise]

I usually use windows media or real player. It worked a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks

Can you post exact error message?

[Broni]

Optical drives don't need any extra drivers.

[DanaLouise]

It sayed: vlc player has encoutered a problem and has to close.

I have uninstalled it, and i am now confused as of which one to download from the link you gave me.

Thanks

Hmmmm...

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista/7), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista/7).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista/7, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista/7 case).
