    I used to read DVD on my computer without any problem, using different software downloaded on the web.
    Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to install windows XP (I had Millenium). Of course I had to upload or change some of my softwares. I chose Zoom Player to read DVD, but after several "try" I have to accept the fact that it doesn't work (and it is the same with any other one)
    Zoom player give the following explanation:
    "MPEG2 Filters required for DVD Playback are missing!MPEG2 filters are not part of the Zoom Player installation..."
    What do I have to do!! I am really disapointed and fed up. So PLEASE tell me that's an easy game for you and tell me what to do.


    Thank you, Bye, David.

    You need to install some commercial DVD player, like PowerDVD or WinDVD in order to get MPEG-2 codec to your computer.
