    Which DVD software?

    I just built my computer and installed a DVD+/-RW. However, I can't get Windows Media Player to play my DVDs. I downloaded some trial software online, but that only will play 8 minutes at a time. What do you people use to just play DVDs? For recording, I'm going to purchase Nero 6, as this...

    Supplied the card power, and no more error message. It was on the side so I didn't really see it the first time around. Thanks again.

    Hi, I have never built a computer before, but would like to build my first one for primarily work purposes, and maybe some gaming. I will be using two monitors. I was hoping someone could comment on the parts and tell me whether they are compatible. The asterisked items are the ones...
