DVD will play music cd's but when dvd (movie) is inserted, nothing happens. The DVD program (Sonic) pops up but still won't play movies. Also tried Windows Media Player but still no good. Driver is current and the DVD drive is a Sony CDRW/DVD CRX835E. Could I be missing a decoder or some type of firmware?
