DVD - ROM Drive

RadicalVictoria · 22-October-04, 10:02 PM

My uncle has a used Dvd rom drive that can play as well as burn dvds, We tried using the software to install the drive, but the new windows media player will not detect the drive at all. Do any of you have any tips or ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

DVD-ROM = Play's DVD's only.

WMP is not intended for DVD playback, try something like Intervideo WinDVD for VCD/DVD playback.
