Q. I wanted to play a DVD today on my laptop (XP) I've done it before and it worked fine with either the general Windows Player or with the Media Centre. But today it said something like my DVD decoder has been malfunctioned or it needs to be installed.. So I looked at the plugins I could download from Windows and they cost money. Why should I have to pay for something I already had? I really don't know why this has happened. If there is any computer genesis here, please help me! I will give you 11 points =)
Its impossible to find a free one without all those risks attached. I just want to know WHY I need it, when before I "had" it because BEFORE it worked.
More answers please.

Answer
Just about any software DVD player (such as Power DVD) has an embedded decoder. Windows media player usually "borrows" the decoder when the player software is installed.
Usually you get free software when you purchase a DVD player. I'm sure you can find something for free if you browse the web. Try www.dvdsoftware.net.
