| 501668 | 2006-11-23 23:37:00 | When you buy a new dvd drive(just a dvd drive for a pc,not a dvd writer), does it come with a installation cd with the software dvd player on it? What if I brought a dvd writer(i know it comes with nero),does it come with a cd with the software dvd player? | lance4k (4644) | ||

It may come with PowerDVD. But you'll only be able to change the zone so many times before it locks the zone (If u use XP). What if I brought a dvd writer(i know it comes with nero),does it come with a cd with the software dvd player? It may also come with PowerDVD. It may not. It may also come with some kind of burning program (sometimes a Ulead program). But depending on how old the PC is, how fast it is, and how much ram is in it. It may not be fast enough to play DVD's. |

The menu's dont work too well, i haven't tried VLC, but that might work as well. |
