Just a quick question.
Did the DVD play on your laptop before you did the reinstall, I mean the actual disk that will not play now.

Since you reinstalled your Windows (was it XP?) it has not recognised your DVD player but how did you reinstall, using a disk or what?
Follow the Microsoft link:

to try and see if they can fix it.
As for Norton saying that the Windows Media Player site:

is dangerous, I think it is about time you f*cked Norton off and get some decent free security software. It is a bloody Windows Media site ffs, what is Norton playing at.

I have installed avs ,every time i put the dvd it trys to play on windows media player,how do i get it to play on the avsdave.m wrote:So, in My Computer, there is no icon for the CD/DVD Player?
You have tried VLC Player and that does not work.
You have downloaded and installed K-Lite Codecs and that does not work.
You have tried the Microsoft FixIt and that did not work.
All with no success.
Rather than waste anymore time, take it to a local computer shop and ask them to have a look at it, because something is not right and it needs a 'hands-on' approach, to make sure that everything is done and checked correctly.
