have you tried in safe, ,,,putting in the dvd ?

in windows explorer , go to tools , folder opts , file type ,,,,scroll down to the VOB file type ...see what is associated with opeing the vob files on your dvd, should be a dvd player.

***STOP: 0x0000001A (0x00041785, 0xc0c00000, 0x40c162c0, 0x00000000)

Thats a bit confusing for me....Please help

Even in safe mode it will not play dvds, the program crashes!

Make sure all your drivers are up to date. That might be a factor in the problem.

I have updated all the drivers for my motherboard and also the firmware for the dvd rewriter. This DVD rewriter worked fine in my old pc. I put in an older DVD ROM drive BUT even that dont work when i try to play dvds..... I am thinking, could my motherboard be broken or something??

Is the drive cables frimly secured? Check that, make sure the drive is in the secondary IDE channel.

Do u mean that the second plug on the cable is plugged into the drive or the whole cable plugged into the secondry IDE port?

Whole cable into the secondary IDE port. Also, is there any other drives on the cable? try a different cable too.
