Re: Cannot play DVDs

I have sound! It was all Dell's fault. Apparently they knew about the
problem & this month have issued a patch to sort it out. I've installed the
patch the and DVDs all play perfectly.

Thanks for your input.

Hello

I don't seem to be able to play DVD's on my pc.; I don't know whether
I've
ever been able to as I don't remember if I've ever tried.
Various thing happen when Dell Cine Player opens; on a dvd I recorded
myself
pictures play but no sound, on a bought dvd I get copyright warnings & it
doesn't play; on another bought dvd nothing happens at all.

Windows Media Player behaves similarly when I try to play the dvd I
recorded
myself in that I have pictures but no sound.

Windows media player won't even attempt to play the bought dvd's claiming
copyright infringement. I'm not trying to copy the dvd's just play them.

The pc has sound and plays cds with no problem and also plays Ipod tunes
with no problem

I don'r even know if it's a software fault or a DVD player fault although
I
have run a Dell diagnostic program which suggests no faults.

Any ideas please?
