Need help watching a DVD on my computer (details)?

Question

OK, so I pop the DVD into my computer. I know I have a dvd drive because it says 'dvd' on it.

Anyway, I get the main screen of the movie where it gives me the option to 'Play Movie'

The problem is, I get a message saying: "cannot render video. Please check your graphics drivers and ensure they support the latest version of direct X"

I tried updating my drivers (I have a nvidia 8800gt 1g) but it still doesn't work?

Answer 1

Try downloading VLC player, it plays pretty much anything, and is free. I don't think Direct X should have any impact on watching a DVD.

Try watching it with Windows Media Player. It might just be the program.

Answer 4

Check Windows Update and see if everything is up to date. Make sure you are using VLC video player. It's free and the best video player out there.

Answer 5

You tried updating your drivers...what does that mean? you tired and failed? Or you updated your drivers and it didn't help?
