I have had my laptop with XP for 3 years and have always
been able to watch DVDs. Recently I get the above error
message and now cannot watch DVDs.

Anyone know what's going on??

Reinstall PowerDVD or WinDVD, whichever came with the PC.

Thanks. I just recently had to re-install everything, so
I can't believe it wouldn't have been installed then.
I'll located my System Restore discs and try.

It's often a separate CD.
