1183839 2011-03-06 02:21:00 Hello,

I have a Toshiba Satellite running Windows XP SP2, and when you put a DVD in the drive to play it, in Windows Media Player it says the DVD decoder is not available. It uses data discs just fine, so I am utterly perplexed :waughh:


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1183840 2011-03-06 02:25:00 XP doesnt have any decoders (installed) by default. Install VLC Player and use that. Data disks are different. They're not the same as playing DVD's. I would also update this if its on the net. Since SP2 is no longer supported Speedy Gonzales (78)
