2 different DVD players crash, win98se

[Mike Scirocco]

I am trying to view DVD's on my win98se system, but both IVIVO and
WinDVD7 crash. Any suggestions about how to get either one working would
be appreciated.

TIA,
Mike

I have just installed a Samsung CD-RW/DVD drive that I picked up

second hand and I can't get it to play DVDs.

Post by Mike Scirocco

As I've never had a DVD drive on my PC before, I thought I'd better

check what I need, in terms of both hardware and software, and anything
else I'm missing in terms of setting it up.

Post by Mike Scirocco

1. First of all, do I need any additional hardware, eg some sort of

PCI card decoder that works with the DVD drive?

2. Secondly, in terms of a software DVD player, according to the

Microsoft webite there is a DVD player included with Win98, but I can't
see any way to install it from my Win 98 disc. The MS website seems to
suggest it will only work with certain DVD drives anyway?

Post by Mike Scirocco

In any case, I downloaded a freebie player (Cliprex DS DVD Player)

but still no luck - after launching the software and pressing play, I
just get an error message sayinmg there isn't a DVD in the drive (I
tried several DVDs with the same result).

Try Media Player Classic, be sure to get the Win98ME version.

IVIVO and WinDVD7 both crash on my computer, but this works great.

Thanks!
