Where can I get a driver for a Lite-on corp DVD-ROM Drive? - Luke plz help coz my computer wont play dvds wit out it... HELP... PLZ?

Best Answer: You need a codec to watch MPEG II video such as that found on commercial DVDs. Windows will offer you links to people selling them for up to fifty bucks, but you can get something that does a heck of a lot more for no cost. There's K-lite and Combined Community Codec Pack, with my preference lasying heavily with the latter because it's more inclusive and there aren't people hawking versions of it riddled with malware.

hi luke as JG has stated dvd and cd-roms dont require drivers when used in windows(all versions),however you can get firmware updates firmware updates will update the cd rom to a later version,this will improve various features of the dvd-rom drive however by the sounds of it all you need to do is run a "dvd/cd lens cleaner" through your drive,this will clean the drive lens whcih i think is causing your problems,just follow the instructions on the disk and after it has finished try the dvd-rom again note:never manually clean a cd/dvd lens,touching the lens will permanently damage it also try going to device manager and uninstalling the drive from there,reboot the pc and windows will then reinstall the drivers and firmware for your dvd-rom,this sometimes does the trick and may be all you need to do any problems let me know good luck luke ! - brianthesnail123

If you have Windows XP or above you don't need it. Windows comes with the driver already. What you do need is a codec to watch the DVD, get a program called PowerDVD. I am not sure if there is a free alternative - budyboy65

You don't need a driver. You need a DVD playback codec. Download VLC from http://www.videolan.org It can play DVDs. - TallPaul

Windows doesn't use drivers for CD or DVD drives. What you need is DVD playing software - download the latest version of Windows Media Player. - J G
