Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

DVDs may all look the same, but the are not all formatted the same.

So, what is on this DVD -- music, videos?

Is this a commercial DVD -- because usually, all you have to do with those is insert them in the drive and they start playing.

Also, what media player are you using -- Windows Media Player?

We can proceed when you provide the information.

Thanks

Ive tried mutiple kids movies such frozen, land before time, despicable me, and also with some cds. I am using the media player and to play the movie i have to go to files>this PC> then click on the disc icon

OK, then I would suggest trying a different media player to see if that makes a difference -- this it the one that a LOT of folks (including me) prefer over Windows Media Player:  http://www.videolan.org/index.html
