I am having an impossible time getting DVDs played. I have an LG DVD
ROM player and have downloaded and installed a CinePlayer DVD
Decoder. I am still unable to play any DVD. The computer says "no
disc in drive" when there is definitely one physically in the drive,
very frustrating, please help...

Open My Computer icon on desktop, then rightclick your DVD-Rom drive
and click Properties>AutoPlay tab and select your action to perform.
Also, DVD - Enable DVD Player in Media Player
This setting allows you to use Microsoft Media Player to Play and Open DVDs.
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Settings. Value
Name: EnableDVDUI, Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value), Value Data: yes or no.
Create a new string value called "EnableDVDUI" and set it to "yes" to enable
DVD functionality.
