I have just finished cobbling together a Dell PC. Most things seem to be working now but I can't play dvds. It's not too important but it would be nice. I get the following message

Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

Where can I get a free dvd player from. It will play cds.

TIA

    Hi
    VLC media player will probably be able to play your DVDs.
