How to bring back my dvd decoder

I recently had to reinstall my xp OS caused by a virus.  Before that, I had no problem watching the dvd download.  After I reinstalled the operating system with the disks provided with my computer when I bought it new.  I get an error message saying that the DVD decoder has disappeared.

How can I get that back?

==================================
DVD decoder was probably included in your OEM
software package and the chances are that you have had a
installation disc for it.

Maybe the next Video Decoder checkup utiilty
worth to try:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility

And you can buy a video decoder (DVD)
the following link:

Or you could try the freeware following Media Player
who is likely to play your DVD.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 8 and so far I hate it. The biggest problem is that all the icons are just dark gray blobs, that I can't read. I don't know which version I was running before, but the arrow to the left and the "home" button and all the rest were bright and clear and readable. Now, I can't even read what is in the address window.

  • HOW TO BRING BACK THE BROWSER MORE OLD?

    REVISED ORIGINAL QUESTION =
    AFTER ALL THE ~ through the MESS you created and YOU in ME SAYING that "in order to have a chance to get the answer to my question ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I can ', you REFUSE to accept by saying, ' Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less...» » !!! You are ABLE to say that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS? HOW TO BRING BACK THE BROWSER MORE OLD?

    ISSUE INITIAL = I got SEVERAL plugins that WORKED! Then, I 'upgraded' {like you, LAUGHING, claim} to your version of Firefox 4 after promising to you that it is BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the old version. After you install the NEW one ~ IT TURNS OUT ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very skillfully {and, in fact, HATEFULLY} uh, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser for COMPATIBILITY ASCENDANTE so that it does not DESTROY us, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU put your hands on it! So, now, * HOW * I get the OLD version back? I think you need to KNOW what you can do with this new 'UPGRADE' which is, in fact, a LIE! UPGRADES don't take you BACKWARDS ~ make things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER! DUH-H-H!

    ORIGINAL DETAILS =
    I, recently bought, a new HP 4500 printer and it came with an extension to capture video/plugin. Attempt to use, the program informed me that I had to use, either, an IC or a Firefox browser mentioning the version1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; then, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, she added the plugin for the browser ~ PERFECTLY! I had too MUCH other plugins that worked and I used somewhat regularly! NO MORE! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPTE, WISHTHEYWUZ 'PROGRAMMERS' STOLE half of my COMPUTER! I can't, is more, USE ALL OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply because you "forgot" {say} to INCLUDE in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM? WHY DON'T * YOU * WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, MORE?

    Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU, and YOU are its AXIS! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in no way compatible with what is already available ~ according to the "advice", I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everyone must adapt to YOUR claimed "improvements" that are just DESTROY!

    All I want is for YOU to either MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER back version that * IS * compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to another browser and advise all the others that I have one any influence to do the same for the good of their overall computer enjoyment!

    PLEASE ADVISE!

    I see that you have provided this window} {below a space for, probably, a UNIQUE Extension / Plugin.} Therefore, a PARTIAL LIST follows ~

    Normally, you can play DVDs with Windows media player and so you n t need additional software or driver.
    Also, I prefer VLC media player. This little player can play audio and video files more and its freeware.

    If you need a codec pack that you should search with Google K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. It is very good ;)

    Good luck!
