DVD player in PC

[carriesmum]

Since my PC had a virus and was rebuilt I have not been able to play DVDs. I assumed that since the message I got was to ensure that I had a DVD player installed that I had to purchase one. This I did - Windows Media Player. All I get is a bright green screen and no sound.

Help me if you can you PC tech folk out there.

Please remember that I need step by step instructions as I am afraid to make things worse by misunderstanding tech instructions.

Surely you didn`t pay for windows media player?
Media player needs codecs to play dvd.
But if you download vlc player, it will play them.
