Can not play dvds on my laptop

[lostboy87]

I have been able to play them for years but now for some reason it wont let me.I have 3 players and these are the msgs for each-

Roxio-tv out port of your display card is not working properly.

Interactual-player is unable to initialize your dvd decoder for playback.

Media player-problem with anolog copyright.

Please could you help and tell me what to do,maybe i removed something by accident ??
Thanks all.

The first message (Roxio) seems to imply that you are trying to send the picture to an external screen from the laptop's video-out port. If this is not the case, perhaps you have lost a dvd decoder. You could try VLC player, which can be downloaded for free, from http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/
