Is there a software program that will allow my computer to play both DVD-R/RW(this what it is compatable with) and DVD+R/RW disks? My stand alone player will play both formats but my computer is stuck with only the -R's.. Help me if you can!

Ummmm,

Not that I am aware of.

This is because almost every PC DVD-ROM Drive on the market will already read both - and + formats...

Pick 1 or more from the following possibilities:

1 - your DVD-ROM Drive is faulty (or heading that way)
2 - you have a WEIRD DVD-ROM Drive
3 - your Windows is mucked up
4 - you are doing summat wrong
5 - media fault

Hope this helps...
