Hi, yeah it's possible, you need to backup the folder where DVD Player software were installed, and the windows registy file. I can't see the other way of this. but is not the best way, i think it's better to backup the hole windows. About progs, i use True Image for several years.

Thanks for you reply, how do i backup the registry is there any software that you know that can back up the applications b/c i don't really want to back up the whole windows system

you can make some sort of our registy backup using it's own option 'export', and save the hole registy to you hd as *.reg file.
but i don't advice you make suck backups. because they don't guarantee stability of your system in future when you will restore it.
