If you want to play DVDs you must have DVD decoding software... usually
PowerDVD or WinDVD.

As far as I can detect there is a problem with XP's new service pack. My DVD
burnre gave up the ghost in the same way. It remains a nice CD burner and
player but will no longer acknowledge the presence of writable DVD's. This
seems to be wide spread. I have seen no patches or solutions posted. Removing
the up-grade did not help. I hope someone addresses this before I buy a new
DVD or computer. Lou
