Watching DVDs
Hello,

I got a laptop with windows vista on it a few months back and I have been watching dvds on it until 1 morning i woke up and it was frozen. So only thing i could do was hold down the power button. When i started it back up and it gave me the old blue screen. But then i rebooted it into safe mode and it said it recovered from a critical error. All seems right except when i try to watch a dvd it says i need to update the video driver. So i went to my device manager and it downloaded and installed new drivers for my video card, but still it doesnt work.

Does anybody have any solutions for me?
