Comment:

I have a dv2500/dv2620 with vista installed. Th DVD drive is recognized, but an error comes up that it needs c:\swsetup\WinDVD.exe
I misplaced the original CDs. Is there any help besides restoring from scratch? I have too many programs to reinstall.

... go to Control Panel, turn on the Classic View and then go to Administrative Tools> system configuration

... Open System Configuration by clicking on the search result or by pressing the Enter key. You will see several tabs: General, Boot, Services, Startup and Tools.

... Click on the Startup tab and you will see the programs that are loaded at each Windows startup.

... You can choose to disable some of these programs

... look for the one pointing to "c:\swsetup\WinDVD.exe"

Grrrr
