text: how can i fix my microsoft media center? i bought my computer from dell about 1 year ago.  for some reason, everytime i want to put a disney dvd, i can see the movie but not hear it.  if i put any other kind of dvd it plays well.  also, i put another dvd in, and it was playing like in fast forward mode but it was on play.  i've tried to update the system, but when i go to microsoft.com/download  it tells me that there is no updates for my media center and/or that my media center is the most current one.  this started happenning about 1 week ago.  my 2 year old daughter has a collection of disney dvd and she can not hear any of them.  help me!!!! thanks if you got the machine from dell, you should have gotten either windvd or power dvd software pre-installed on it.  there's no reason that you have to use microsoft media center to play dvds.  there are other programs out there...  media player classic, for example... http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358  it's an open source version of windows media player that will handle playback...
