check your client.

>>
>> First installed, go to your start menu and the Programs submenu. Find

>> . Hit Enter and choose

>> ; which is the actual DVD player.
>>
>> When in the main screen of the player, hit Alt-F, to open the File menu.

>> scroll down to your DVD drive. Hit Enter, and the movie is loaded into
>> the
>> software.
>>
>> Press Space to start or pause the movie playback. Press the Period key to
>> stop playback. PageUp and PageDown moves to previous or next Title or
>> Chapter. Left and Right arrows moves you a few seconds backward or
>> forward
>> in the playback. And the Up and Down arrows adjust the playback volume.
>>
>> If you quickly want to navigate the movie's Titles and Chapters, press
>> Alt-N, followed by J. Then arrow up and down through the selection, and
>> hit Enter on the desired one.

>>
>> The software is, far as I have been able to test it, fully accessible.
>> Menus are good old-styled Windows menus, and infos on the screen are

>> the screen. All in all, a good easy alternative to any other DVD playback
>> software that I have been in touch with. Seems to be free as well.
>>
>> Yet another benefit, is that I had several DVDs here, that none of the
>> main stream software would play properly. Windows Media Player - for
>> one -
>> insisted that my display driver was outdated; even if going through HP's
>> updater told me all drivers are up-to-date. So, with none of the
>> mainstream products, my fully legally bought DVDs would not play. Soon as
>> I installed the CCCP software, and use their DVD player, these movies
>> play
>> just wonderfully.

>> Hope this info is helpful to some of you listers!
