dvd-rom driveproblems

#1 Post by calired67 » Wed Jan 26, 2005 11:13 pm

This being my first post I am sure I will be asking a stupid question or leave out info that will be needed to answer the problem but here it goes anyway.

I bought a DVD-Rom drive but don't know how to make it work(i got it off ebay and no software was included) What do I need to do to make it work?
I also am purchasing a dvd burner and will more than likely need assistance with that too.

You probably need some kind of software to play them then. I personally use Media Player Classic that comes with the Kazaa Lite Codec Pack. Do a search on Google for "edskes" and the first hit will have a page of links for you to download it. Im not sure how well it would work with Windows 98.
