I have an iMac G3 400MHz with 196Mb RAM and have recently completely reinstalled my system. The problem is my DVD player now doesn't work and when I try to launch the prog I get an alert box saying that the DVD module is not installed. Has anyone got an idea as to what I should do ?? All help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Steve.

You mean the included Apple DVD player software won't function? If that's the case, just download the VLC Media Player and use that to play your DVD's.

Thanks AssassyN for replying but VLC works with Mac 10 and a G4 processor. As you see I don't have either. Can anyone else help?

Ahh, sorry, forgot you're on OS 9. In that case, give THIS a try.

I use VLC all the time with a 400 MHz G3 processor.

Thanks very much AssassyN and bradeosch for your help. I'll test both players and see what happens.
