My windows media player cannot play DVD
Experts,
I have Vista 64bit. I'm trying to play DVD's but Windows Media PLayer displays a message that reads: "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings"
I've installed so many MPEG2 decoders by now. None work. Adjusting display settings also doesnt work.
Please help!

what version of media player are you using?
Hi PantoffelSlippers,
I know you have installed a lot of codecs, but try this one:

Hope it helps.
