milchama Posted September 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 4, 2005 alright just off the hook with Dell again and I have got a PowerDVD disk coming soon My guess is that the OS (MCE 2005) needs to have this program. I did a fresh install of the OS and there is a cyberlink folder in the program files folder WEIRD. So I called Dell and told them I need a copy of cyberlink PowerDVD. well the disk is gona be here some time next week I'll update this thread as to the results. . . (2 hr's later) I just made some . . improvisions and quickly aquired powerdvd after installing it my problem is resolved. It automatically integrated into MCE 2005. I cant belive Dell didnt ship it with the 9300. Dell should know that people who order MCE OS back up disks are going to also need powerdvd or an DVD player that works with MCE. I never had this problem with any of my desktops that I built and they all have XP Pro. so this thread is solved and for any who have similar problems.
