No DVD decoder in XP

Expand Post »
I am on a Dell D600 and it does not seem to have a DVD decoder.
I thought XP was supposed to be ultra multi-media friendly...

How do I get it to play DVD's...
Not looking to rip them vust play them.

Does dell give you a program called "PowerDVD?" Maby they did to me because I have a DVD-Burner and a DVD+Burner? Any ways in the program it gives you a decoder...

I believe the d600 comes with the Intervideo DVD software, if you do not have you can purchase it pretty cheap, or ask around to your friends if they have a copy of it or PowerDVD.
