Redbear is just really nice Redbear is just really nice Redbear is just really nice Redbear is just really nice Redbear is just really nice

if its drivers ya need..get DriverMagic
other than that..any other dvd playing app like klite codecs should do the trick..
if not those..then the DVD read laser might be gone which means ya just needs another dvd player

If it used to play the DVDs and now it won't but still plays CDs, maybe clean the reading lens? Maybe check your device manager and see if everything is right. I didn't know that ROMs had drivers?

I've never updated any burner or ROM drivers I ever owned. LOL. If it showed up in the BIOS and run, I never had any problems. So do I learn something new today with them having drivers?
