Dave, I tried the Divx player, still no luck. Maybe its something minor that I'm doing wrong. First ( with my DvDr in the dvd drive) I open the Divx player and the dvd drive begins to run like its about to play, then a small window displays noting that an error was made with the Divx player and sends and error report and then the program closes. I've also tried My computer/click on dvd drive then left click on one of the tutorials , which gives me the option ''open with'', of course I choose the Divx player, but still nothing.
