| 241419 | 2004-06-03 09:55:00 | Does anyone no if there is a good free downloadable dvd player?. I've tried to watch some dvd's on my computer, XP home with media player 8 and media player 9 codec's installed, but keep getting an error message, www.microsoft.com saying that i have to buy a dvd decoder. Any idea's. Cheers Popa | popa (5638) | ||

Or it could be that your DVD drivers and/or firmware need an upgrade/re-installation. Did the DVD unit not come with bundled software? Cheers Murray P |

| 241422 | 2004-06-03 10:22:00 | Looks like my wild guess was just that, a bit wild and off the mark popa. What make is your unit/player, they should have a decoder that you pay foe in the purchase price. Apparently some movies come with a bundled decoder, worth checking out. Anyway, heres some links to free DVD decoders, hope they help: Link 1 (www.wordtally.com) Link 2 (www.free-codecs.com) And this Link (www.windows-help.net) is a How To check if your DVD decoder is installed.

| 241423 | 2004-06-04 00:05:00 | Thanks for the replys. My computer is a HP and the dvd rom drive make is the original that came with the system. I checked for installed codecs thru your link and it said i had none installed. So i'm currently downloading the standard k-lite pack thru your other link. Again,thanks. | popa (5638) | ||
