I have recently bought a Philips PBDV1628G/00 16x DVD±RW however, Windows Media Player and Real Player both told me that I needed extra software before I could play dvd's so I have now installed Win DVD 2000, but what happens now when I try and play a dvd is that Win DVD "encounters a problem and needs to close" and Real Player and Media Player just close with no warning. Any Ideas??

Lets see....
Your in the UK?
You have XP?
Win DVD 2000 is for ......Platform: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98
Now XP is NT based, Win2000 may be the issue.
This is an OEM drive?
Assuming you had Win2000 laying around, you may have to pay out and get a software player for XP.
Nero includes a decent dvd player. Whatever you choose to buy for burning software should include a player.

If you have problem with WinDVD 2000, why don't you try with the newer version such as the trial version of WinDVD 7 and see what happens? You can also try PowerDVD 6, which I really like it.
