We downloaded one from the net. It was free. (our son's advice)

This works INSTEAD of Windows Media Player. It works fine.

Hubby says you have to right click on "play with" command that comes up when you put the DVD in and CHOOSE VLC or set it as your default.

Well, I put in the dvd of Avatar (which plays perfectly on my dvd player by the way).

So up comes all the prompts that I can choose from to play a dvd.

I chose the VLC thing.

This is what I got on the screen.

File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "dvd:E:\".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:E:\'. Check the log for details.

Okay, WHAT DO I DO NOW???
