Hello,.
\nI have trouble shooted this problem extensively and researched it to death and tried all the things below. I sure would appreciate some help. Dvd plays everything EXCEPT store bought DUAL LAYER DVD movies. Plays; burned movies, burned data CD & DVD disks, and single layer DVD store bought disks.
\nWill NOT play store bought dual layer Dvd s.
\nIt HAS to be a software or driver problem but as you can see below I have tried everything twice. I would really appreciate an answer that would not include upgrading to win7 *s*<\/p>\n
Intel dual core 2.66
\nbus speed 333
\n2 gigs ram
\nsound max
\nNVIDIA Geforce 8400gs
\nLG DVD cd writer + firmware update for version 1 and older;
\nlg-GSA-H54N LGDVD driver release 10_13_2009 GSA-H54N_1.02<\/p>\n
Windows XP Pro
\nService pack 3
\nNero ASPI 2.0.1.74 installed and OK
\nsystem ASPI not installed
\nSlysoft ANYDVD ver 7.
\nDVD X player<\/p>\n
Uninstalled Dvd drive from devices , rebooted.No joy.

\nDouble checked all IDE configs in devices. = fine.
\nchecked properties for dvd drive of course= fine.

\nReplace ribbon cable. No Joy.
\nChecked right thru all bios settings.= nothing wrong.
\nRan NERO cd\/dvd tester all is fine. Everything is supposed to be good and enabled.
\nChecked LG model and it IS dual layer capable.<\/p>\n
Copied all relevant CD sys files from old winxp drive to new drive, reboot.. no joy.
\nI have always used WINAVI full suit, currently Nero delux 7 (getting old but worked on other xp system) and prefer NTI cd suite, also have Cyberlink DVD suite.
\nAll these I have used for years on my old PC, all work fine now EXCEPT the dvd drive will not recognize a dual layer store bought dvd. WTH???<\/p>\n
I use my PC for playing movies. Id like to be able to play the dual layer ones I bought.
\nThank you<\/p>\n
