no,,these has nothing to do with a firewall,, the first thing that u need to do is look in device manager for any yellow excalmation points, if there is any click it, and then go to the microsoft website and in search type the error code, it should tell u what it is, and how to fix it,, if there is none of those yellow ones, what u can do is simply look for another type of software to play dvd's that is compatible with ur dvd drive

it sounds like the DVD burning software you had before has not yet been re-installed.\n\nInstall a DVD Burning program, then try it.

is anything else running on the laptop when you play the dvd?  Could be your processor and or memory can't keep up with the dvd.  Does the DVD play normally on a regular dvd player?  if yes, then the problem is with the laptop and I would take it back .  Without knowing your processor speed and memory that's the best advice I can give you.

I would suggest reloading your dvd software.  This should fix the problem since it installed for a different OS and you upgraded the files might not work on the new os so you will have to reinstall to get  it to work on winxp  \n\nOS = Operating System

Look into the configuration of your DVD player software. You may have to change it.

google DVD Shrink\nand DVD Decryptor\nneither are no longer supported\nbut you can find where they are at\n\nsome of the newest will not rip with the above 2\nfor that BUY AnyDVD, the current DVD Ripping champ on all protection schemes ( including audio cd's )

if you only have windows media player istalled\nit wont play dvd or vcd`s,you need to install another\nplayer to act as codec`s , POWER DVD 5 is a good one.

Most likely that you have an old laptop that might not support the DVD proper, perhaps a slow CPU.  We bought some NECs a few years ago that had this problem.  They came with a PCMCIA Margi card that had been since been discountinued, but I did find some that are still being sold via a Google search for $100.  Seems like a lot of money to play DVDs on your laptop, so you might consider a portable DVD player?

First install and run g-spot do find out which codec it is encoded in and which codecs are present on your machine.\nNot ALL DivX codecs are 100% supported in Nero.\nAlso you may want to see which version of Nero you do have installed. Nero 7.0.0.X is known to have certain issues. In this case you should upgrade to the latest version.\nIf all this does not help, you should consider unisntalling Nero, delete all Nero folders, run a registry checker/fixer and reinstall the latest Nero.

Check firewall settings and also make sure you have the correct codec/plugins.

the problem is that you have several problems first the processer is too slow 900mhz is the minimal requirement. Second there the ram you need at lease 256 mb to opearate the drive with any degree of success. I don't believe it is possible to run a dvd-rw on the computer in question.

Why do you need a driver for the DVDrom?\nWindows should detect the DVD.\n\nbut you may need the DVDPlayer software.\n\n\nAny way\n\ncheck the hitachi webpage\nif not\ncheck the site below

You may need to reset some dll files. Follow the instructions on the Microsoft link below if your system problem occurs when trying to play a CD or a DVD:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=899873

A couple things:\nIs the software you're using updated? Check the help files to see how to update your software.\n\nAre you playing a DVD or just a video clip file? You might want to check if the DVD is dirty or if the video clip was badly made. You might want to check your DVD rom drive if its dusty or so.
