Talking I began with a DVD-ROM and a prayer 3 years ago...

Now I'm installing it on everyone' s PC.
Who watches DVDs on their monitor ?
Everybody!!!!!
Blockbuster's did it's job.

Now about that "PC Friendly DVD "...
Will they please stop doing that.
It causes more trouble than it solves. If it pops-up on your screen cancel the install.

I tell you now; DVDs on your monitor are a joy.

Get the popcorn and kickback.

Agreed. I pretty much prefer my computer to watch DVDs than the TV.

Curious. What is the "PC Friendly DVD"?

"PC Friendly DVD" is one of those dead ends some moron thought would make money. It's supposed to be a 'free' DVD player.
It shows up on random DVDs, though the Harry Potter series is one of them, and promises to install DVD software and extra content.
What it does is mess with your installed player and create start-up problems.
If you haven't had trouble with it before, you will soon.

Well, thanks for the heads-up then. I'll deal with it properly as soon as it pops its ugly face.
