vrebosch Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I want to watch dvd's on my laptop but when they load in windows media player I get the error "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card." So I googled what that meant and one thing suggested I get the CinePlayer® DVD Decoder Pack for Windows XP. So I pay for and successfully download the decoder pack put my movie in the laptop and continue to get the same error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknis Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is the disc standard commercial, blu ray or 3D? Sometimes it is a non-compliant monitor or using the wrong connections is the problem. How (what kind) of connection do you have between the computer and monitor? DVI or HDCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you are doing wrong since you have not told us what you are doing. How about some details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrebosch Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's a Dell Laptop Latitude D830 - that's as close of an answer as I can get you on the "connection from computer to monitor" question. I've tried multiple standard movies that you buy at Walmart or other stores. It identifies the movie but won't play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried multiple standard movies that you buy at Walmart or other stores. It identifies the movie but won't play it. Ok, lets do it this way. Please do this (link) and attach the result to a reply. Do not copy and paste the result. Just one more question. Did you ever go to the Dell support site and look at the updates for your computer? The site will identify your computer and suggest updates. One of those is the video driver. That is what is needed from your first message.
