DVD's won't play

[StarsOfCCTV]

I want to watch the Vice on my computer, but when I try and play the DVD on VLC player it doesn't come up, and on Windows media player it says this:

'Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings.'

I've tried lowering my screen resolution to 800x600 and lowered the colour quality to 16 bit but it doesn't make a difference...

I've tried a different DVD but it doesn't work either..I've never had this problem before :hmm:

I have an external disk drive because the inside one is broken but I don't think that makes a difference.

Any suggestions? :p Sorry for the overly long explanation. :p Thanks in advance. :D

Try downloading the latest version of windows media player version 11

Are you sure that the computer is looking to load the DVD from the correct drive

Trt Div X player as an alternative
