Hi everyone

I have recently purchased a HP mini netbook which has windows 7 on it. I also got an external dvd drive which works fine when installing programmes or playing audio CDs but when I try to play a dvd, it tells me that there is a decoder error. I have trawled the internet trying to find a decoder but nothing I have downloaded has worked. Can someone please help me by showing me where to download what I need?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Actually K-Lite Codec Pack 5.5.6 Full is the best all round choice and will cover 99.9% of things you come across to play :top:

Another thing to try if you don't want to play with extra drivers or programs is to use the Add/Remove Windows Programs and untick Media Player and Media Center and reboot. Then reverse the process to add them back in and do yet another reboot and try it then.
