dvd problems

I have a problem with dvd playback. I insert the disc, and it will play through mediaplayer, but in cf, it totally ignores it. Also, when i go into DVD on cf, whether there is a disk or not, once in there, after about 10 seconds the menu disappears, and i have no way of going back, clicking around the screen doesnt do anything, i have to force the power off on the machine

this happens everytime i try dvd

thanks

phatboy: If you double click the screen it should bring the menu back up and it seems that you don't have codecs installed. Can you play the DVD in Windows Media Player?

right ok, it seems that i dont have the right decoder for playing dvd's, where can i get a free one?

And regarding the menu not appearing, it was just cause i wasnt double clicking on the same part of the screen twice, with it being a touchscreen it made it a bit harder!

Thanks!

right, i sorted it, just installed a copy of power dvd, so mediaplayer now plays dvd's, and so does centrafuse

thanks for the help david, sorry for being thick!
