But I suspect this prob is with Windows Media Player… Dunno abt Realplayer

ditzy SG

Your post is as vague as me asking why my car cannot move? Laughing

1)The car has no engine.
2)The car has no mind of its own.
3)The car doesn;t have tyres.
4)I just realise the car is not actually mine.

dragg SG

you are right.

i inserted a DVD disc and the E drive shows nothing.

when i pressed the play button it says 'no media loaded'.

StarPuppy SG

do you have a DVD driver?

if not...a CD reader is unable to read a DVD as the both of them are diffrent

please buy a DVD reader for DVD cds

dragg SG

CD-ROM drive cannot play DVDs. please buy a DVD-ROM drive. full stop. the end. Laughing

ditzy SG

Steady lar, like that mayi tell you to divorce your current wife and marry her, I take that you'll do just that. Laughing

As ditzy said, your question is really vague.

There are a few reasons why your computer can't play DVD.

1) You do not have a DVD drive. A CD-ROM drive can't play a DVD. You need at the least, a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive. Anything lesser than this you can't play your DVD.

2) You have a DVD drive, and have tested other DVDs, and they can't play as well. Some DVD drives requires you to install some drivers, which comes together when you buy the DVD drive. If you have lose the CD, please go online to find them.

3) You have a DVD drive, and have tested other DVDs, and they can play. Only this particular DVD can't play. This means that the DVD could be spoilt.

4) Media players can't play it. Please download the relevant codecs. Some DVDs come with protection, which means only a particular media player can play it. The media player will usually auto-run and install on your computer. If you accidentally uninstall it, please re-install it. Even with you download codecs, the DVD will just not recognize it because the correct player isn't used.
