why can't I see anything (only hear audio) when I play a DVD?  I have
been told to get a "codec" but would appreciate help in knowing I have
the right one.  I downloaded one earlier this year, but it failed to
work.

There is no answer at this time.

1. Go here:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ACE_Mega_CoDecS_Pack.htm

2. Download the .ZIP file containing the Co/Decs and their
installation package. (feel free to scan it for virii if it makes you
feel safe... it is virus-free)

3. Unzip the .ZIP file. (Windows XP can do this natively without a problem)

4. Install the Mega Co/Decs Pack. 

5. Shut down windows, tell it to reboot the system.

6. You will now have every Co/Dec you should ever need, legal and free. Enjoy!

download lastest mediaplayer 10 and then find a powerdvd or some dvd
playing software which will contain the mpeg2 codec.
