I just did a fresh install of WinME on my mum's PC, and installed Windows Media Player 9 among all the other updates I downloaded.
For some reason, WMP9 insists on telling me that there's no disc in the drive whenever I insert a DVD movie.
All discs - DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, CD etc. - are recognised in Windows itself - you can browse them in Explorer.
I have both InterActual and PowerDVD installed with their software decoders (have also tried them independently), and both packages play DVDs just fine - but WMP9 just doesn't want to know about DVD movies.
It's a P3-500 system, 128MB RAM, 32MB GeForce2 graphics, and Ricoh DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive.
The exact same system played DVDs just fine prior to this installation, using Win98SE and an older version of WMP.
Any ideas?
It's not a major issue, but it's bloody annoying when there's no apparent reason for it not to work.
