DVD Player

[Sol]

Hello,
I need a DVD software in order to be able to watch DVD's. I do have a DVD
drive but since I don't have the software it won't play. My question is,
which would be a proper application. I am running Windows XP Professional
Version 2002 SP 3.
Thank you,
Sol

You could purchase a DVD Decoder...
see the following link:

(FWIW...it's always best if you create a
System Restore point before installing
any software or updates.)

Info on DVD Decoders:
Plug-ins for Windows Media Player

Or you could try one of the following
free media players that will play DVDs.

VLC Media Player

Media Player Classic

or.....
http://www.filehippo.com/download_media_player_classic/
(just unzip it and run it...no installation required)

Or...you could try installing one of the
following codec packs:

Thank you for your very prompt reply.

In the name of my whole family THANK YOU, you saved our night. We wanted to
watch a DVD, but did not know that it could not be played in my PC. Now we
enjoying the night.

Thank you again.
