I'm trying to watch "Crusade" the spin off from Babylon 5. I get this message:

Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

Anybody know where I can get a plugin for this or use a different player? I just ran Windows update.

You're getting that message because Windows is unable to play a DVD without installing 3rd-party software (the decoder in this case).

Usually you would get a programme that included a decoder with your DVD drive (Power DVD seems to be quite standard).

You can view a list of free alternatives here.

If, on the other hand, this is the only DVD that doesn't work, you have a more serious problem ;)

I just reinstalled everything a month ago but didn't put the software for the DVD. I thought windows had everything. I'll check your list. My DVD player is a few years old.

I downloaded PowerDVD and it worked!

I guess, Set - Egyptian God of Chaos has more knowledge that Anubis. :(
