Ive instaleld Nvidia DVD Decoder. and with interactual player, it says i have a sub audio system error, and when i try play it in WMP nothign happens, it shows the correct length of the dvd but nothing plays. Could anyone help me on this?

Hmm, power dvd has its own decoder and you can pick it up really cheap now. Its an excellent PC DVD program, with excellent picture and sound quality to match. That might just get it working for you

try re-installing your DVD decoder, because it currently may still have the setting for the old drive, and it's not picking this new one up?
