Windows 7 - Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center
Asked By HelpNeede

Hello there
We can't play any DVDs on Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media Center.
We kept getting error messages like:
This disc is not formatted to play in this region.
This player is incompatible with the region marking of this disc.
Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with
digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder and video card. Try
installing an updated driver for your video card.
The same DVDs could be played using WMP 11 on Windows XP, AVS DVD player,
and Nero Showtime.
We are running Windows Vista Home Premium and have a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
512 graphic card.
Anyone can help, please?
Thank you.

Is it possible you never set your drive region in XP or Vista??
I wouldn't think XP would play dvds either but not sure.
Check the drive's properties, just checked mine and they're both
region 1 and I know I didn't set them in Vista. I must have
set them in XP.

Associations not there. Windows 7 hello, I was helping my friend to set up certain things on his XP Home computer, and he asked why his DVD player wouldnt play a dvd. Did the that, then after a while I decided to check out his file associations. When in Windows Explorer, I clicked on Tools, Folder Options, File Types.
