for Windows Media Player?

It would appear that the DVD player in the computer is useless because
it doesn't have a DVD decoder.

Figures.

Any help?

I am sure you've checked, but just in case.....

Do you have other software in the computer that plays a DVD? Usually a
computer comes bundled with some kind of software for playing a DVD if the
computer has a DVD capable drive.
I think you can then change the association to have it play in Media
Player
if you prefer.

I also may not know what I am talking about, except that's how mine works.

I've never used the DVD player, but I just received a DVD from
Evinrude and wanted to play it - won't play - tells me I need to
purchase a MPEG-2 upgrade or something.

Bill Gates sucks.

I'll look for it - thanks.

If it works anything like mine, after you insert the DVD in the drawer and
close it, wait for a bit.
The drive will spin and whir, then a DVD player program starts
automatically. Mine is called
"InterVideo WinDVD" or something like that.
