709364 2008-10-02 20:51:00 I have PowerDVD on my desktop - and it's marvelous. I particularly like the way I can put a DVD disk in months after I had started watching it and it will ask me if I want to continue where I left off or start from the beginning.
Even my Sony DVD burner for the TV cannot do that.
I would like to have the same program on my laptop but blowed if I know where it came from.
I am sure I never bought it and there is no record of my down loading it so I presume it must have come with some equipment I bought. Searches have proved useless.
I do not want the latest version - far too expensive and has a tremendous amount of ability and power I do not need or want.
I tried downloading from one site and got a program that was full of viruses and then would not run.
Any suggestions about either where I got this simplified version or alternatives would be welcome.

709365 2008-10-02 22:31:00 It probably came pre-installed with your PC, or with a disc that came with a DVD drive. pcuser42 (130)
709366 2008-10-02 22:32:00 Most probibly with a DVD/CD rom drive you bought. Would be on the disk that came with it.

Power DVD 8 is 124 MB.
I see what you mean but this applies to
all new software versions.

Not quite "all". just the ones with a similarly powerful marketing division that over-rules sanity. (AKA 'A bunch of prancing prats'.) :(
