I bought a pretty good computer about 5 months back or so w/ XP Media Edition installed. Everything was fine until one day it decided to stop showing me my dvds. Did some sort of promo or temp service run out or what?? No Dear John, no cigarette, no nothing. Just cut me off. What happened?

I don't think so, but then again I have all sorts of other software to use for DVDs in Windows anyway. Linux, however, is another story. It took some tinkering to get DVDs to play right on Linux. If I were you, I'd try reinstalling whatever program you were watching DVDs with before. Anyway, good luck with that!

Windows Media Player plays DVDs. 10 is the current release, and 11 is in beta. I have no problems watching DVDs on either. They are both free downloads from microsoft's site.
Save your money.

There is no need to purchase any kind of software to view dvds on your machine. make sure that your media player is not corrupted. if so try to re-install it. I doubt some problem with your drive. I also faced similar kind of problem some time back.
to make it confirm use some other media players like realplayer, vcd player etc.

One (or more) of your DVD codecs is causing the problem. If you recently installed/downloaded a new video viewing program, a codec was overwritten. If that's not the case, try powerDVD on this link: http://www.cyberlink.com. But some programs have some of the same codecs imbedded, just different versions. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-codec.htm will give you the definition of a codec.
