JohninKansas said "A likely reason why your DVD doesn't do DVD is that Win98 didn't come with and hence (according to my dim recollection) didn't install the codex files for DVD modes of operation. Checking with the drive manufacturer for updated drivers, drive BIOS, and codex files would be in order, expecially after moving the drive to a new machine. (The drive itself has a BIOS that's separate from the computer BIOS.)"


EKKK! This reminds me of a cartoon I saw where the guy was chewing his dog out, and the bubble over his head said,"Bad dog Ginger! Do NOT jump on the
furniture! Leave the garbage alone! You need to behave Ginger!" and the bubble over the dog's head said, "Blah blah Ginger! Blah blah blah blah Ginger!"

Meaning: WHA? You are talking to an idiot. Are you saying what I need is some new drivers for the bios and the codex files(whatever that is)?

I appreciate your help. I will also pm Foulestroupe in the hopes he has mercy on poor geekless soul and tell me what to do next!
Thanks!
