sorry i meant dvd and yes it has a dvd bay.I can insert a dvd to play games but it wont plaay movies.thank you for responding

Most manufacturers will give you free DVD player software if you use a drive they support. Just go to their download page and look for it. If you use Windows 7 or Vista then it should play, if not then you will need to buy WinDVD or something like that. nVidia has a codex that will play DVDs in XP for less than WinDVD.

VLC player is the tops! Media Player Classic Home Cinema is another. Both are free - take your pick. How to know you are getting old 2: Your feet seem further away from your hands

Also you may need additional codecs for your media player to properly play the formats that are on the CD/DVD. K-Lite Codec Pack is quite a good one for this. http://www.free-codecs.com/download... ___________________________________________ ☺ When everything else fails, read the instructions.
