Dear friends !
I have some problem running DVD movie files from Windows Media Player in my laptop. (Compaq Presario V2000)
Previously I was able to run DVD movie from Windows Media Player. I had lot of viruses in my laptop and I formatted the pc and now I find that when I try to run a DVD movie file from DVD, it doesnt run. The Windows Media Player gives me the following information (error message)&
Windows Media Player is currently unable to play DVD video. Try decreasing the number of colors displayed on your monitor or decrease the screen resolution. For additional solution, click More Information to access the DVD Troubleshooter.
Close More information
I changed the screen resolution, but the problem is still there.
When I click on More Information, it redirects me to the Windows Media Player Error Center and serves this help&

0xC00D116A: Cannot play DVD video
A troubleshooter is available to help you solve this problem. To troubleshoot the problem, see the DVD Troubleshooter in Windows Help.
Notes
" To play DVDs, you must have a DVD-ROM drive, and a software or hardware DVD decoder installed on your computer. If you do not have a compatible DVD decoder installed, DVD-related commands, options, and controls do not appear in the Player and you cannot play DVDs. By default, Windows does not include a DVD decoder. For more information about DVD decoders, see Windows Help.
" DVD playback is only available on select versions of Windows.

Note: Windows Media Player version is: 9.00.00.3354 running on Windows XP Professional SP 2.
Note: I am able to run DVDs from VLC Media Player 0.8.1 currently installed on my laptop. I am also able to open other DVDs (that contents word, excel, PowerPoint and other data files) from My Computer.
I knowledge in Windows Media Player is not very good. It is just basic knowledge. I am not understanding what this DVD decoder is and how can I install it. Please tell me what may be the problem. Help me in solving this problem.
Thank you very much.
