How can I watch DVD's on my laptop?

[James]

When i try and play a DVD on my laptop it states:

Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

Does anyone have a link for free software as I have a long shift at work tomorrow and need some entertainment !

Thanks

First get the installation done.
Next, clean the D.V.D., and push it into ur laptop slowly, and wait for it.
If it doesn't work, try again.
If not, go to it's website, and ask them about it.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!
