How do you play DVDs on Windows XP. I tried to play a DVD on WinXP and Media Player came up, telling me there was no device installed for playing DVDs. I have DirectX 8.1. Do I have to download a DVD player from the net ? What about the DirectShow drivers for playing DVDs - will they be installed already with WinXP ? I have the latest Windows Updates for WinXP.
