I tried playing a DVD today (well, two actually) and Media Player informed me that I had a problem with digital copyright protection.
After running through Windows' useless help system, I decided to download WMP10 and reinstall it again.
So I go to the MS website, and it says I need a Windows genuine check. I had no problems with this, as I bought my PC from DELL last year and Windows Xp came with it. The installer had "technical dificulties" and couldn't decide whether I was genuine or not.
So then I reinstall PowerDVD, and it works no problem.
Um... help?

If you have PowerDVD, use it. WMP is rubbish for that; I tried a genuine OS check yesterday to install some software... didin't work of course.
Gah.
I had PowerDVD installed with my Dell originally, but I uninstalled it ages ago because I never used it.
I downloaded a trial so I could watch the DVD, but it only has support for five minutes of audio- what's up with that?!

I recommend REALone player, with some DIVX codecs. Who knows, it might work.
Just a thought.

Oh God, not REAL player.
*shudder*
If I'm ever forced to install that piece of crap again I'm going to cry. In the end I stuck it on my iBook and played it on there, I'll just live without playing it on my PC.

I would not recommend WMP for DVD's see if you can't use the Power DVD key you should have got with your Dell PC and unlock Power DVD

As Afternoon said, there must be a card with the serial key on it. Failing that, use your ingenuity and somehow find it. Possibly from an online location.
