Hi, PowerDVD is not free, but I believe you can download a trial. Can't remember the trial limitations though. Hope that helps.

Hi Amro, Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try. Since reading Joan's message, I recall that I had Power DVD on my other computer, but have no idea where the installation disk is now. Is Power DVD a free program do you, or anyone else, know? thanks.

I rely on it to play all audio and video files I use including Quicktime formats and Flash Media formats (FLV). No Real Player and WMP headache!

On putting in the DVD, I am given three options: Play using Windows Media Player, View folders, or something like this, Take no action. I enter on Windows Media Player, and a message pops up:"Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to change yourWindows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel and then try lowering your screen resolution and colour quality settings". Both were at maximum, so I lowered them. I got the same message. My wife has a laptop, and using Windows Media Player, with her screen settings the same as mine, she is able to play DVd's. Two questions please: 1, Any ideas what I can do to cure this problem? 2, Is there a, if possible, free software DVD player that I can try, and that would work? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
