My Windows Media Player won't play DVDs anymore

I've been removing and reinstalling several programs, updates, etc. in order to get eradict behavior of WORD and Adobe Reader resolved

now my Windows Media Player can only play audio files, but not DVD/video files

It doesn't have to be this difficult

Maybe a codec problem?

I fixed it

I have no idea how

I tried downloading the codecs above and the DVD Decoder

I forget which one installed, or if both of them did

In any case, the Media Player is now Playing DVDs again

I reinstalled the programs that I removed as well, two if which play DVDs

Both of them work fine and worked fine when Media Player wasn't

So, I am covered

Thanks all
