Hi guys! Sorry for the rage.

Here's the deal. I am working on a computer (copmaq 5600i - custom system made) that has win98 reinstalled. Now everything is back to normal except that dvd player is not fully working. I tried Power DVD but it looks like as if it is utilizing CPU rather then hardware (picture is not as sharp and crisp as it should be - it's somewhat blurred and not contrast is not as high).

Now I pc friendly is complaining about dvd decoder probably. Now is this a hardware device or software and how to actually fix this if someone has a clue please lemme know.

The video card inside puter is diamond viper 550 and i got the driver which supports macrovision (probably that meant dvd decoding) but other than that I have no clue.

Compaq recovery disk simply does not have dvd software on there.

Thanks ahead.

A!
