New problem...

quite a few problems really, but i think you can only help me sort one of them!

Sorry i've been away, i've had an operation on a Pilonidal Sinus. Basically they've cut a huge chunk out of me and i can barely walk, so i am sorry not to be on the site since last time.

However, as i am fairly ill, i went to play a dvd on my computer and i got this error message:

I'm pretty sure i've got the latest drivers for my sound and video card. So i'm pretty confused.

Basically, when i put a DVD into my CD/DVD drive it wont play. Now, i've got .AVI files on the computer and they play fine with sound n all, so i'm baffled.

Thanks for reading, i hope someone can help.

I ran Belarc advisor and i cannot find a driver for my sound card. it appears in yellow in the hardware tab. i am thinking of buying a new PCI sound card that will work with XP. That might solve it?

Hello,

What type of sound card do you have?

Thanks for the Link. Just for info, i'm using Windows Media 11. However, i tried using Interactual and that didn't work either, said there was a problem with the audio subsystem… my sound card is: Aureal Vortex 8820 Audio (WDM)

thanks i sorted it. I got Intervideo DVD XPack. Seems i did need a DVD De-coder thanks for putting me on the right track Ax238

bizarrebob, Glad to hear you have it worked out. I'm happy to have been able to help. It's gotta be tough to have a "chunk" taken out of you :(. I wish you a swift recovery from your current physical condition. Cheers, Ax

Hi Bizzy, Glad to hear that with Ax's help you are now fixed up Ok. I want to echo Ax's comments and wish you all the best for a good recovery. (Having had a few chunks out myself, from the same sort of area, so to speak , I guess I know something of how you feel! Regards paws
