Solve : dvd rom decoder?

1.	Solve : dvd rom decoder?
Answer» I just INSTALLED a DVD ROM but when I tried to play a dvd video a message came up on windows media player saying it was unable to play it as there is not a compatible decoder installed on the computer. I RUN xp and the dvd is : compaq dvd-rom sr-8587 I am fairly computer illiterate so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. elibank.elibank....Do you have another cd-rom in the p/c ? How did you set the jumper on the new dvd -rom? Have you installed the software that came with the dvd-rom ? let us know dl65 You may need additional decoders. There is a program called 'Gspot' which can TELL you what decoder you need. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ - Gspot - Freeware
