[QUOTE="Peter, post: 2757326, member: 210791"] Windows 8 doesn't support DVD playback, meaning you can't play DVD's unless you have the codec to play it. Microsoft decided to omit them because of tablets and netbooks that doesn't have a DVD drive to begin with. The only way you can play DVD's is buying the feature pack (if you have Windows 8 Pro only). It's about $10. I have Windows 8 Pro and had to buy it to watch my DVD's again :( Audio CD works fine, but not DVD. ** EDIT ** Then it might be your computer's problem then. I've installed legacy games on mine (GTA San Andreas, etc.) and it worked fine on Windows 8. o__o Did some research, and it seems to be a registry error tied to the Device Manager. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/code-19-error.htm [/QUOTE]
