Hello, me again 
It seems that I am creating quite a few threads in here at the moment! Perhaps I should just start a "DQuaNs computer questions" thread!
Right. I have just installed a DVD-RW drive. The drive did not come with any software, so I just plugged it in and away it went.
When I try to open a dvd in Windows Media Player, it says it cannot play the file. It advises me to open my display settings and lower the resolution and colour quality, which sounds a bit stupid. I have the most up to date drivers according to Windows, and can't find any on the Sony website.
So my questions are: Is there any way to fix this so that media player will play the movie?
And what FREE software would you all reccomend for both watching dvds, and burning cds/dvds as i have no burning software other than Windows.
Thanks
Dunc
