    i just bought a cyberpower system and everything seems to work fine, but my pc will not play any DVDs, nor rip CDs to the hard drive. I believe i might need a different driver but i am clueless to which one.

    Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A

    are you sure you have the correct codecs installed?

    the windows drivers should be good enough, but what exactly does it do when you put the CD in the drive?

    autoplay runs fine and recognizes the disc, but any for any dvd, it wont play after pressing play. for instance, the chappelle dvd plays the splash screen, then stops. plus, for ripping, it goes unbelievably slow now. confused

    what programs are you using? I use ace mega codec pack, that includes everything you need to play and much much more, it's really overkill.

    unfortunately i was trying to use media player, power DVD, and realplayer. i have memory of them working once in a while, but all of them are unsuccessful. what about this ace mega pack?

    ,........but in essence its not. it has trouble reading regular CDs and CD-ROMs. is there another upgrade necessary for this type of playback?

    Go to sony's web site or contact their support and ask them about it or you may need to get another dvd player.
