    I can't watch dvds on my computer. WMP says to lower resolution and color quality. I lowered those to the lowest possible setting, and it still wouldn't work. I currently have WMP 10, and I'm downloading 11 (with dial-up, takes forever). Anyway, on the Corsair System Build I sort of followed, he says he got his video drivers off nVidia's website. I couldn't find them. Where can I get the most current drivers, and will this solve the problem, or will WMP 11 do the trick?

    What video card are you using? and what drivers are you trying to find?

    I'm pretty sure Windows Media Player 11. It's still in its beta version anyways.

    Netmeeting isn't configured. Configure it, too?

    I have to configure it to even open the program, and it doesn't say anything about overlays.

    Okay, now I have the latest drivers from nVidia (91.33). It still won't work. I've looked a little more and found I don't have a dvd decoder. I checked for ones to go with WMP on Microsoft's website, but they all cost money. Does anyone know of a free one without malware.
