Let me start by saying that I am completely computer illiterate so if you think I sound like an *****, you are probably right. And if this is posted in the wrong forum, I apologize.
So here is the deal. My computer played DVD's fine on all dvd players (Windows Media Center, WMP 10, and Sony Cineplayer, all of which came with the machine if I remember correctly...at least the Sony and Wind. Med. Center ones did...don't remember whether I installed WMP10 or not) until installing WMP11. Now, it doesn't matter whether I use WMP11, revert back to WMP10, or use Sony Cineplayer that came with the computer...none of them give me sound. The picture is fine and the it isn't the speakers or something equally stupid because I can play CD's without a problem and my computer has no qualms about making awful noises when I do something it doesn't like.
I ran the Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility per the advice for someone else on another forum and it says that the "Sonic CM(R) DS Video Decoder 4.0 is not compatible with the synchronization feature of WMP10. We recommend against setting this decoder as the preferred one."
I have no idea what that means or whether it is useful information.
Anyway, I am at a loss for what to do or what info you might need...help?? Please??
BTW, It is a Dell Dimension E510 with Windows XP Media Center Edition. Under DVD/CD-ROM drives it says "_NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A" and TSSTcorp DVD-ROM TS-H352C"
