How do I get the Microsoft Windows DVD player application to run?
Windows 98 and Windows 2000 include a simple player application. It requires that a DirectShow-compatible DVD decoder be installed (see 4.1). During setup, Windows installs the player application if it finds a compatible hardware decoder. You must install the player by hand if you want to use it with a software decoder or an unrecognized hardware decoder. Using WinZip or other utility that can extract from cab files, extract dvdplay.exe from driver17.cab (on the original Windows disc). This is the only file you need, but you can also extract the help file from driver11.cab, and you can extract dvdrgn.exe from driver17.cab if you intend to change the drive region.) Windows Me includes a much improved player. It is always installed, but it usually does not appear in the Start menu. To use the player, choose Run… from the Start menu, then enter dvdplay.
