am trying to download it. it does nothing when i click on the download button
Hover your cursor over the download button, right click on the mouse and select save target as.
If this dont work it means there file server is down, try again later.
BTW you have got to enter some details in the form below the download button, just type any info in there except your own and then click on ‘download now’.
No dont be sorry Kentlass i thought your CD/DVD drive had either a conflict or you had uninstalled or rolled back the driver.
Im glad you were only missing your DVD codec as this is ten times easier to fix.
Btw did those license keys unlock the trial to the deluxe version?
OK lol you should of said your missing your DVD codec!!!
Download cyberlink power DVD 6 free trial version available here http://www.gocyberlink.com/multi/download/dl_file_new.jsp?ProdId=1.
And have this prog free on me by entering one of these license keys when prompted.
REMOVED
BTW Cyberlink 6 is the best DVD codec player available for playing your DVD’s you should be upgraded to the deluxe version. If these license keys fail give me a shout and i’ll get some more.
ANUBiS.

yep the auto play thingy pops up :? :?
tried the troubleshooter n it says it’s a problem that troubleshooter cannot sort.
think i’ve totally uninstalled the software n thats the problem :(
Well Kentlass your CD/DVD drive is fine. But your saying the software? Do you mean your missing your software DVD player? (codec)?.
OK, Your CD drive has a working driver.
Now go start>control panel>system. Now the system properties window should appear. Click on the tab that says hardware and click on the button that says device manager. When the device manager window opens scroll down on the list and click on the plus+ expansion button next to your CD drive. Now double click on your CD drive, the CD drive properties page should now appear, under device usage make sure this CD drive is enabled.
If you have have a red cross through your CD drive under device manager, it means your CD drive is in conflict. If there is no red cross present, i can only advice you to start the CD drive troubleshooter. You can enter the trouble shooter by double clicking on your CD drive whilst in the device manager window and selecting troubleshoot.
When you place a CD/DVD into your drive, does the autoplay feature work?
Start>my computer>right click on your CD drive and select properties. Under the hardware tab, highlight your CD drive by clicking on it once and tell me what it says next to device status.

I myself have used partition manager which has split my HD into three seperate compartments, my C drive now has my windows folders within it, and is hidden from all users that access my comp. My D and E drives now have certain folders that i have renamed like, downloads, and sys utils that are kept ON the system even if i lose windows, I tend to use the sys util folder on the D drive for programs like mozilla, Msn messenger and any antivirus or spyware program to reintergrate if the inevitable happens and the system crashes, my download file I use for music and any photos or videos that have been downloaded from different scouces to transfer into different subfolders within the D or E domain of my main drive, which is the C: drive. there are two ways you can partition the hard drive.
NO 1 Format the hard drive and partition from the windows disk itself which is self explanatory, ( Only from the XP setup disk).
NO 2 you can find partition manager on a trial basis from download.com, but it is an only 30 day trial, this months computer active magazine explains it fully with a step by step advice column,.
Good advice is hard to find, use it when you can.
Make your Computer run more efficently and instal your paging file on any of the partitions you created on your HDD that dont contain your systems program files. This will boost the data exchange on your virtual memory file which in turn will optimize your systems speed.

i dont have the xp backup disc needed to do it :oops: :(
Oh dear.
You may want to try a file sharing network to gain access to a gratis copy of XP.
Format your comp Kentlass.
start> run> type msconfig and press enter, now select the radio button thats says ‘diagnostic boot’ click on apply then click ok, when you are prompted to reboot click OK.
Now try to run your av scanner.
To start in normal mode just follow the above instructions but select the radio button that says ‘normal start up’.
Is your AV client Norton by any chance?
