Reinstall media player .Dont worry about the album art and all they'll come back .Then reinstall k-lite with 'Playback purposes only' setting .Get the latest klite pack if possible from this website
*www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
.In the end it will ask u about usage of ffdshow .select all options provided ..ur done will take only 20 minutes

i just found out dat WMP 10 [dat i have] plays DVDs if dey r played from d DVD directly and not if u copy d *.VOB files onto d HDD

while surfing d NET 4 ur problem i found dat others 2 were facing similar problem and they resorted 2 using

VLC Player [KIK AZZ player]

Simply means that u check all boxes .Use ffdshow decoder for decoding DVD's too ! I use it too .Have u followed all steps ... i mean uninstalled before installing . Which other plugin packs or players do u have for dvd playback ?

At the time of installation of k elite codec pack, there r 2 options for minimal.When i try 2 play vob files wmp 11 just fails 2 play with a X in the side bar. and it too shows DVD in the task bar of the wmp 11. It is like this only when k elite codec pack is installed.Before that it was none.I used vlc
