I have downloaded a power dvd software from my computer but my problem is i cant make it play?

Windows does not include software to play movie DVDs.
You need to purchase software to perform this task.
I use Corel's WinDVD.

Good luck!

Do you have Power DVD on you laptop or any DVD software to enable you play DVD plate? If no, then Install Power DVD software. After the installation, then try to play it again with the Power DVD software. You can download Power DVD from freeware site http://www.4shared.com/get/OLyshBOX/POWER_DVD_40_Full_Retail.html Good luck

If you need software to play movies (you are missing codecs)
Download VLC player, it is free, open source, and will play just about every media file

Try Klite codec pack, and then play the dvd's in Windows Media player. Problems have been known to occur in Power Dvd. Klite codec pack can be foud at (http://www.free-codecs.com/K_lite_codec_pack_download.htm) Hope this helps.

you can install vld software then you play the dvd.

Try downloading VLC media player. Do a quick Google search for it.
VLC is a free media player and without additional downloads will play almost any format you can throw at it.

you must have a bluray supported software such as power dvd 9 or win dvd you must purchase software to playback bluray disks as the codec is licenced

if you bought the computer new or the DVD drive new , you whould have got a CD with it , most probably with something like WinDVD or something , if you have the specific CD with DVD software on it install it , as it will enable you to watch DVD's using Windows media player etc..

if you bought the computer second hand etc.. and or cant find the cd's a free solution is to download VLC media player (Download here) the only disadvantage about using this free solution is that you will have to play the DVD's through VLC you wont be able to use windows media player etc. to play DVD's as VLC does not require decoder software to play DVD's

otherwise you can purchase software such as WinDVD and this will enable you to play using your media player of choice.

Thanks!

YOu need a 3rd pary dvd player software installed, Like power dvd. Power DVD , Win Dvd etx, you should have gotten a copy of a player when you brought your computer, If you didnt or cant find it you can download one, many have trial versions or you can get a free one.

If you get a trial version of Power Dvd it automatically installs a dvd decoder. even if power dvd trial expiers and you cant use it anymore you will still be able to play the dvd's on windows media player cause the decoder will remain there and media player will have axcess to it :)

Make sure you have DVD playing software installed, such as Cyberlink Power DVD. The software would have come with your computer or DVD drive at the time of purchase. If you do not have specific DVD playing software, VideoLAN Player is a good free alternative, which you can download from http://www.videolan.org
