Assuming you already have a software-based DVD player like WinDVD, I would recommend that you use this for your DVD playback.

IMHO, these "players" that are on DVDs are just extensions of Hollywood marketing. I always ignore these players and just use my software DVD player: WinDVD.

Thanks alot for your help and your opinion.

So, since I now know I don't really need this "program" to run DVD's, do you have any special advice for uninstalling it? I'm sure they'll be alot of extra files hanging around out there if I do a basic uninstall. Seems to always be.

If you don't, that's fine too. My initial question was answered and that's all that matters.

Thanks again.
