Hi Ranjith, I think you don't have the required software like PowerDVD or Nero to play the DVD files. These softwares are mostly included in the "Driver CD pack" of DVD Players. Or, if you have the latest RealPlayer or Media player, then select the "Play DVD/Cd" from their menu after loading the DVD.. hope this will work. ~Avinash --- In [email protected] <arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com>, "Ranjith K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It doesnt detect the dvd.
