    I defraced my laptop,because it was running slow and it didn't work after that I have since done a recovery on my laptop to try if it would make any difference,but just the same.

    DVD's Not Playing

    Howdy;

    I upgraded to Win 10 back in July but have never tried to play a DVD until today.

    When I insert a DVD: Windows DVD player fires up and asks me to insert a dvd and then, after a few seconds, closes down.

    I have tried to fire up Windows DVD player first and then insert the DVD into the drive, but the same thing happens.

    I figure the system "sees" the drive as it appears in the device manager list and I can play CD's but not the DVD.

    Need some help here.

    Thanks - Mark
