Hmm i do have real player installed. It does have similar qualities but i need to get some codecs for my DVD's. But maybe i will update it.

Thank you

Didn't you get a dvd player program with your computer or when you bought your dvd-rom/dvd-rw?

Mega Codec Pack will play anything under the sun. Comes with players and all the codecs in one package. There is two other lighter versions as well. No ads and no spyware.
Winamp is very popular too and will play most formats.

one last thing. When i try to copy music via windows media player it says "windows has encountered a problem" quite annoying as i need to copy some music. The music is from legit CD's i have tried to copy a few but no luck as yet.

Dbpoweramp works quite nicely for ripping cds.
