DVD Decoder - Reinstall???

Jul 12th, 2006

Hi

I have a Dell inspiron 1100 which came with a DVD decoder..but when trying to free up some space on my laptop i seem to have deleted or lost the decoder. I can no longer play DVDs, the option is gone from Windows media player and dell media experience...

Do i have to buy and install a new decoder now?

Thanks for any help

C
