Real Player... yuck! The thought makes me shudder...
As you already know, you need a player to read/watch DVD's, if Real Player cannot play them try Windows Media Player or try another one of the many available players out there. If other players don't work I think you should probably start a new thread for this question, it is a completely different subject than what was being addressed in this thread and the DVD experts (which I am not!) might not even be reading this thread because they are thinking it has nothing to do with DVD's.
Tip: Give the subject line in your post a meaningful title, it will attract more experts or address a target group of helpers. Many experts and helpers here are busy with all kinds of other things. When they read these help groups they may be monitoring 20, or even 50 groups! If they only have an hour or so to pass and read the posts they may skip over many posts that they deem to not be in their field of expertise, or they may skip over many posts with vague subject matter. In the case of the current thread a DVD expert may have looked at it the first time you posted and decided that it was out of their area of expertise, or that you were getting good help from other respondents, they may skip over the posts the next time you post.
If you give your new post a meaningful subject line like: "Cannot Read/Play DVD Movies" the experts out there will be interested in your post and they will read and reply if they think that they can offer helpful advice, the other ones who know little about playing DVD's and who only have a short bit of time to peruse the groups will be able to skip the post without your losing potential expert help.

Now for the next question. How do i get my internal dvd/cd-rom and external to read dvds. They are trying to read them but they are not loading. I have realplayer version 11(build 6.0.14.550) distrobution RN40PD and WMP 9. Got any ideas why they are not reading dvds?

Select 'Command Prompt' and then press Enter. Choose the OS you want to start.
Login to Windows XP as an administrator.
At the command prompt, type in:
FORMAT C:
That will not work, John. You cannot format the System or Boot volumes of the Windows installation onto which you are logged on. Using any of the boot option by tapping the F8 key will log you on to the Windows installation.

Well, I'm out of ideas.
