Windows Media Problem

[nondaj]

Am not real sure but think this is a hardware problem.  I want to be able to play DVD movies on my DVD drive.

But when I insert disc, can find files in Windows Media but when I go to play the disc, get error code "Windows Media has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I get no further than this.

Can advise?

OK have downloaded file and have it installed - have yet to give it a try.  Rather late tonight to start so will give it a whirl tomorrow.  Thanks so much for the download tip.  Keep you posted how I do working with it.
