I have installed this drive.
Posts fine, detects in WinXP fine. Put in a cd, installs fine. Put in a DVD, detects and asks what software to use with this action. I have tried to play multiple DVDs in the drive this afternoon using a variety of software: Windows Media Player 8 & 9 (upgraded to test), WinDVD, and InterActual Player that came on the Swordfish DVD.
I can open My Computer and explore dvds without a hitch as well. It just will NOT play a movie without generating an error report and closing down the program. It happens the same way every time, regardless of which DVD I am trying to play and regardless of which player I try to use.
Any suggestions?
