I recently bought a dvd recently for my computer but when I put my dvd its playing. Does my system requires a software for that? I tried to find few software on net. None worked. So can anybody suggest the software too.

What drive do you have on your system.Its a cd drive or a dvd drive.If its a cd drive then you wont be able to run it on your system.If its a dvd drive then windows media player will run it automatically.if its not running automatically then go to cd drive and run the movie file manually.

Windows media player should automatically play it. This may be a stupid question but does your computer have a DVD drive...if it doesn't that would explain why it won't play...it's the only reason I can think of.

Yeah I know I am a little dumb sometimes with these technology stuff. I tried with winamp and quick time player but it was not working. After reading your response I tried with the Windows media player, and yes its working. Well before that I even got another software i.e. Cliprex which played the DVD. But its better with the Windows media player. Thanks a lot.
