madboy33 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 i put the DVD in and windows media player popped up saying " windows media player cannot play this dvd as a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer"Heeeelpmadboy33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Windows Media 9 only plays back DVD's using the decoder software that should have come with your DVD player,,,,like ella's sez ...windvd is probably the most common one You have to pay big bill if you want the download if you don't have one on boardCheck the backup disc's that came with the original computer...you should have had it ....its quite possible that it has not been loaded......
