    When I try to reinstall PowerDVD from my recovery DVD it looks like its working for 5 seconds then stops. This is on the 7510GX.

    Any ideas?

    The recovery media is miserable. The setup for it is in one of the folders on the recovery media (cannot remember for the life of me which). If you run that, it'll install.

    VLC is free and works well.

    I can't seem to find any type of .exe to install it. Any suggestions? For all I care if I can just figure out my registration code, I'll download it.
