My computer previously played DVDs, until tonight, when it says there is not disc in the DVD drive, which there is. I tried with WMP as well, but that didn't play it either. Please help!

Try another disc. If that works it porbably the disc. If not check to see if the computer is recognizing the drive as a dvd drive. Have you made any changes to your hardware configuration? Like recently added a cd burner. Make sure the jumpers are set correctly. (Wich was my problem on one occasion) If its not being reconized as a dvd drive and you havnt made any changes you can try updadting the drivers but chances are somthing has malfunctioned.

abode windows XP does no longer natively enable the viewing of DVDs. you want to have an encoder put in on your device. in case your computing gadget changed into "restored" using the CD or DVD that it got here with, you want to locate your software fix (sounds like this disk changed into separate) and shipment that software from there. If this turned right into a clean installation of abode windows XP then you honestly may opt to acquire this style of softwares. An party may be ability DVD or WinDVD. both of which will be offered and downloaded on-line. For a more least expensive value you could acquire merely the decryption software and use abode windows Media participant. which will be offered via abode windows Media participant Plugins.

Samething happened with my Laptop, it wouldnt recognize DVD's, though it played CD's. I was told to replace the entire Drive, which I did. Maybe you need to do that as well.

Try installing DVD software like POWERDVD first...

You could try updating the drivers. also you could open up your case and make sure everything is plugged in right. something could have gotten loose.
