I have a laptop with 6x DVD, Gateway SOLO, (Don't have the part number here right now). 128mb RAM, PII 233mhz. Win2k.

Does anyone know of any good (not overly bloated) free software for playing DVD's.

Cheers.

No. But you can obtain one and crack it. I do have legal copies of WinDVD, including an OEM version. Look at computer shows and you should be able to find the software for $20. I don't like WinDVD as much as PowerDVD, but I've never had problems getting WinDVD to run.

The Laptop is on Dual-boot with Win98 which came with the laptop originally two years ago with DVD player software and i have played DVD's OK, though idon't want to have to reboot just to play a DVD:p

So OK i'll just get a crack then;)

Cheers
