Actually I don't watch DVD movies on my computer either! I just have a
couple in case the grandkids want to do that when they are home. And we
have a DVD player in the living room with the TV and a VCR player in the
bedroom with a TV. Just how spoiled can we be??? What a Country!
So this is not an issue.
I am planning to remove the Quick Time Update that is still in my Add/Remove
Programs and still uneasy with using Revo to remove stuff from the Registry.
Would you advise this less techie person to just used Add/Remove and forget
Revo?
