Have you tried playing a DVD with another drive on that computer?

Do you have the proper codecs installed?

i have tried the internal dvd player on my laptop and that is working.
i have codecs for playing dvds in wmp...
Can i download the drivers for my external dvd from somewhere?

Hello Frede:

I have the same problem. I am unable to play dvds in my external player, I dont have an internal player because its a carpc. I have downloaded xpack codec, supposedly it works but the activation code isnt entering correctly, go figure. I noticed you posted back in january, have you found a solution to this problem I would appreciate it greatly to know my self.

Blazingbird,
