Hello
I'm having trouble with my DVD drive. I recently formatted my computer and installed Windows XP pro (use to be Windows XP home on the computer). Everything went fine, i installed the updates for windows and for my firewall/antivirus. All normal. I installed MS office suite e.g. Word, publisher etc. Again like i've all done before after a format. But for some strange reason I can't install a game (Battlefield 2) that is in DVD format from my DVD drive. I thought the disc could be faulty, which obviously would be strange since it worked before the format so i tried 2 DVD movies. But none of them would play (like they have done before hand)!! The DVD drive can only play CD-ROM's.
I've tried uninstalling my DVD drive and letting windows install it again after a reboot for me. Still no luck. I think my DVD drive is up to date cos i never did an update to it before the format. As I didn't know who the DVD drive was made by. So its really strange why it can only play CD's but not DVD's like it did before the format.
Some screenshots if you need them.
Please Help
Thanks.
