Question
When i play the DVD movie or Audio then i am getting the error like DVD plug in required.
Hi Haresh,
What on earth are you using to play these DVDs with? Sounds like Media Player 7 or 8, these earlier versions required a codec to play DVDs which was simplest found by installing a DVD player such as WinDVD or PowerDVD. Installing either of course meant that you no longer needed Media Player to do it!
The only other possibility is that you haven't set the country code for the drive yet. Do so from the drive's properties page in the Device Manager.
Regards
Roy

Experience
Hi, I have been doing this spot here for some years now, and I like to think that I have helped a few people here and there, but due to advancing years and failing health, I'm afraid that I have decided that I can no longer carry on since I can no longer guarantee to be able to answer questions in a reasonable timescale. I should like to thank all the other experts and the users of this site for what has been an enjoyable and enlightening experience. I shall be terminating next Sunday 12th November 2006.
