    Last week I took out a bad, old CD-RW drive and put a new one in.
    Works great!

    Bad news is my DVD drive was working fine before this new CD-RW install.
    DVD will play through DVD Media Player Classic but not with RealPlayer or Windows Media. DVD's used to play just fine with other players, but now...
    only Media Player Classic.

    Sounds like a drive issue, but why would my DVD drivers be changed when I didnt mess with the DVD drive?

    Thanks,

    What happens when you try to play it with another player?

    >>What happens when you try to play it with another player

    The DVD plays only with Windows Media Classic and my living room DVD.

    Okay...

    Just set the newly installed CD-RW drive jumper settings to "CS".
    The old DVD drive was not changed. It is set to "CS", as well.

    Again...the DVD plays fine with Media Classic but a "copyright protection" error pops up with Real Player and Windows Media Player. This just started happening when I installed the new CD-RW drive last week.

    Sounds like a driver issue. What do I need to do?

    For those that care...

    I downloaded the K-Lite Codec Pack and everything's fine now!

    It would have been a coincidence, and installing the CDRW wouldn't, and couldn't really have any effect on codecs.

    Anyway, I suggest you don't use Cable Select, but rather Master/Slave.

    I've seen Cable Select cause a lot of problems on some motherboards.
