Hi...I am not very computer savy and thing I made a huge mistake! I was
trying to clean up unwanted programs and removed 2 programs that I thought
were ok. PowerDVD and Walmart's Photo Service Software. I still had Windows
Media Player and other photo software. Since doing this, my digital camera
download will not work correctly (will go to transfer photos and movies and
than reaches about 90% and says it cannot complete the transfer). Also, I
now cannot play movies on my computer when I used to be able to. I thought
the PowerDVD was just an extra DVD player, and since I had Windows Media, I
though it was ok. From what I understand though, I downloaded software from
Microsoft's website and it detected I no longer have a decoder.
I am also getting alot of error messages at random times, like when I close
my Internet Explorer.
So, I am thinking that I shouldn't have removed those programs!!! How do I
get them back? and is this the problem?
Thanks so much!

The PowerDVD decoder is found on the CyberLink
PowerDVD installation CD. If you do not have it,
you'll need to purchase another DVD decoder.

.. Open XP's "Help and Support Center"
2. Type DVD in the search box, hit enter.
3. Click on "DVD Troubleshooter".
4. You probably need a new DVD decoder or reinstall the one you had.
