Why can't I play DVDs???

[soyunee]

i seem to be unable to play DVDs. i thought there might have been something wrong with the DVD but when i tried to play it on a desktop, it worked fine. i do see the name of the DVD when i go to search for it to play it. but instead of having a normal icon, i see one of those icons that show up when it hasn't fully loaded. am i confusing anyone?? loll

Yes and no.lol

Are you using a laptop? :-?

What DVD playing software are you using on the
one that don't work?

Did it ever work correctly? If it used to, what happened between then and now?  What DVD playing software are you using?

See below.

something to check with,
1, your laptop or desktop have DVD drive?
2, did you install any DVD player?eg. power DVD, real player....

Okay, for me to help you I have to ask you a few questions first

1.) Does your Computer (Laptop/Desktop) computer even have a DVD Drive?
2.) What DVD viewing software are you using (I.E. PowerDVD, Windows Media Player)
3.) Has the computer suffered a fall (A Physical Fall, Like dropping it)
4.) Is the DVD drive software installed?

One thing you should do first is go to device list to see if it is working correctly... Instructions below:
1.) Open the Control Panel
2.) From the control panel double left click on System
3.) On the top of the window there should be some tabs... Left click once on the "Hardware" tab
4.) Then click on Device List

If there is a problem with your hardware it should show up in the window that just opened... Please answer my above questions if you want more help...
