Unable to play DVDs' MJ 8.0.388

MJ 8.0.388


At first things worked fine...
And for some reason I get this error when I try and play a DVD...

"DVD Player

An error occured preparing to play DVD video. Possibly this is because there isn't a sutable decoder on your system. Please verify that the software which came with your DVD drive is installed correctly.

The system error is:
DVD-Video playback grahp could not be built due to insufficient decoders"

What the heck is this??

I have all the latest Video/sound drivers installed...
Checked and double checked...
And like I said before it ran fine for a week...

System Info:
OS Windows XP Home Edition
Version      5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600
AuthenticAMD ~1466 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date      Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG, 2/8/2002
Total Physical Memory      256.00 MB

Any one else had this???
I have searched all over and can't fine this error, or anything close!!

Please help!!
Thanks!!!!

Pat!

What is the install lineage of MJ on your machine? Did you start with v7? This is important because I don't think MJ upgrades well over previous versions. Install latest ASPI as outlined in several posts around here. Repost your sys info as MJ presents it (don't retype...use copy & paste).

Oops...
Figure this out...
Somehow the drivers for the DVD player needed to be re-installed...
The DVD player was showing up in MJ and other DVD apps' I have except MediaPlayer... Well you could see it but not access it...
So, I scoured Microsoft KB and what I found there compelled me to to reinstall the drivers... And Wa-la...

Sorry people! :-[ A little embarrased here!

Thanks anyway!
