Windows Media Center and Media Player have suddenly stopped playing DVDs
properly on this new Dell Vista computer. No error message, only a screen of
little boxes of many colors and partial sound.
DVDs still play fine on any 3rd party DVD player, so I think the Codec may
be corrupted.
Can anyone tell me how to find/intall a fresh codec for Media Center or
Media Player.

Thanks for any help.
