I put the simpsons and mission impossible 3 into my dvd-rom and use window media player and i get this message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a problem occurred with digital copyright protection." I'd like to know how to fix this problem. I play underworld on it two weeks ago.

Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM.. use an older version of media player. When you install an older version turn windoze auto updates OFF

Uninstall your current WMP completely and install WMP 9 from http://www.oldversion.com. Make CERTAIN to patch it via Windows Update and also go into Tools->Options and disable "Enable automatic codec download" as well as "Run script commands when present", and uncheck everything under the "privacy" tab.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
