I've just upgraded to XP Pro from Win98 and my DVD soft ware (SoftDVD3) is
incompatible and cannot be upgraded from the free upgrade site (only version
4 and above can be upgraded).

It would be appreciated if someone could advise if there is a free upgrade
available and, if so, point me to the appropriate site.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know about an upgrade, but you can try XP's DVD player.
Run: dvdplay

Get Power DVD 4-XP from Morpheus, it's only 8mb download and is simply the
best DVD Software Player - with TRU-SOUND enabled must be heard to be
believed. Completely demolishes the competition...

There is also FreeDVD player at Tucows. This registry hack is supposed to
enable WMP to play DVD's:

The dvd player is in XP, and some free decoders are out there. But MS has
a decoder package for sale. $$

| Isn't the dvd pack a separate download?
