RE: DVDs won't play.

I'm on an HP Pavilion laptop with Intel Graphics accelerator Media card. I
tried to do a windows update and search for hardware updates but none was
available. Besides, the DVDs play fine in Intervideo's native DVD player that
I have installed so I have a hard time believing the video card could be the
problem. It's the same video card with the same drivers that was installed
before I did the PC Recovery and everything worked fine.

Did you try updating the driver for your video card?

I recently had to do a PC recovery as a result of a system hang. When I got
everything up and running, I found that Media Player would no longer play
many .mpg files and gave the following error message when attempting to play
DVDs in Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because
there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive,
decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video
card."

I downloaded the Intervideo DVD XPack, which is supposed to make it possible
to play DVDs in Media Player. However, I still get the same error message
when attempting to play DVDs. I know there is nothing wrong with the hardware
or the codecs because DVDs play fine in the Intervideo DVD player and .mpg
files that won't play in Media Player will play just fine in RealPlayer and
Quicktime player. I am also now unable to convert tv tuner recordings from
.mpg format to .wmv to be played on my Creative Zen using the Creative video
converter included with the Zen. This also was not a problem before the PC
Recovery. What is wrong with Media Player and how do I fix it?
