Pls explain the purpose of decoder? My HP dvd writer fails to to accept
more than one burn with MAGIX "Photostory on CD and DVD" While
troubleshooting I received the notice "No decoder found"
 
You cannot play DVDs without a decoder.

How to Check if DVD Decoder Software is Installed...

By default, Windows XP does not come with compatible DVD decoder software
installed. To confirm if you have Windows XP-compatible DVD decoder
software
on your system:

Start | Run | Type: dvdupgrd /detect | Click OK |

A Windows dialog box will open with identifying information about the
installed software. If No decoders found is displayed, no decoder is
installed and you cannot play DVDs.

Supported Software MPEG-2 DVD Decoders in Windows Media Player for Windows
XP

Hallo Wesley,

Thanks for the advise.
I re-installed the software for the DVD writer first then I complied with
your directions
The following appeared on my monitor:

DShow SW:
Company Name: Cyberlink Corp
Version 3.5.0.1814
CRC32 OX 44c 9ec 27
W2K Upgrade no
Win 9x no
LCID = 1009

You and your fellow advisors have never let me down. For that I am very
grateful.
