DVD will not Play

After installing Windows ME, my DVD play will not play movies. It has a jerking motion in the video and poor sound. After this, it stops. Anybody have the similar problem or know the answer?

Did you maid a re-installation of windows? maybe your DVD needs a proper installation of its driver after you installed windows me. Take a look inside Device Manager and see if your DVD has a yellow mark on it, and do DVD driver installation if it has.Goodluck!

Thanks,The DVD was already installed on the computer, no software. No, I did not reinstall windows. The only thing that works so far is that I downloaded a trial version of POWER DVD and the movie played on the DVD. Windows DVD PLAYER nor Compaq's DVD PLAYER does not work. Compaq does not support the new operating system (ME) because I installed it. In the device manager, the DVD player shows up only as a Standard CD/ROM. There is no yellow mark beside the Dvd/CD/ROM Player. There are no drivers (that I can find for this unit. I think that it needs a decoder and with POWER DVD it has its own decoder. Thanks for the help. I would like to get my Windows DVD program to play DVD. If you have anymore ideas, let me know.
You probably need to go to the DVD OEM site and download new software/driver for WinME. Or you can go to the control panel and manually load your own driver - using the show all hardware tab. Sometimes the default drivers in ME or XP do not do the complete job. You can at least see what driver is loaded and the date. (It appears that the DVD is not plug and play - or at least does not have the proper .inf in your system) - it should have shown up as other than a normal CDRom.
