Hi all! This is a question from someone who knows nothing about DVD-Roms.I built a computer with a new M/B and spare parts,it has Win/Xp/Home installed now. I used a CD-RW and DVD-ROM from a HP comp.I understood that you could play DVD's with XP-Software.If I put a dvd in the drive it says something about Media player (10) does not have the necessary Codec's ?.Am I missing something that i need to install.The CD-RW seems to work with XP's installed recording software O.K.Any help appreciated..... Completely confused-Lencojo
