EMC 7.5 won't play dvd's

[MO351]

Hopefully I'm in the correct forum. I did a seach but couldn't find an answer. I've got EMC 7.5 and it won't play dvd's. Sonic Cineplayer had a pop window that said something about needing microsoft DirectX on the computer so I downloaded it and it still won't work. Just says "No Media" in the player controls window. WMP won't play either. It says there isn't a compatible DVD decoder on the computer. I thought that's what the Sonic Cineplayer was. What do I need to do to get my computer to play DVD's? The DVD burner is a Lite-on and did not come with any decoder software itself. The EMC should have come with a decoder.

Will it play with the Roxio Player ---- Under Extras & Utilities on the EMC 7 home screen,

You might want to check this thread out for additional information regarding Cineplayer playing problems:

I suggest however, that you first check out the suggestions made by gi7omy, as Internet Explorer 7 will definitely kill a lot of programs using EMC 7.5. And if you have never had WMP on your computer other than ver. 11, that might be a problem to install and earlier version.

Don't have IE7. Also WMP is whatever came with XP Home Edition. Never upgraded the WMP.

Did you try the Roxio Player?

 

On some computers, the order in which you launched Cineplayer and inserted the DVD made a difference. some you had to launch Cineplayer, then insert the DVD. ( I think, but it might be the other way around.)

What version of Windows Media Player are you using?

 

If it's WMP11 you will have to remove that and go back to the earlier version.

 

Again, if you installed IE7, that also will have to be removed
