Somewhere along the way I lost the dvd driver for my Compaq 5000 P/C. (Windows 98SE) It was MEDIAMATICS DVD. I TRIED to recover it by going to the HP/Compaq web which invloved downloading the driver to a floppy. (which I did). However I am unable to succesfully load the floppy as it must be loaded in MS/DOS mode and I am competely at a loss . The instructions to load that floppy are all Greek to me. I boot from this floppy and all I get is command :A// prompt. Can anyone help me either unravel this MS/DOS mess or point me to a place where I can download a substitue DVD driver??

Well I went thru all the "MEMBERSHIP" hoop-la and got this download which is an "OPEN WITH" !! Now I cannot find the icon (it is an icon of 2 gear). Now how do I find this program to open this file. ?? Thanks for the quick reply but need some more help to get me this file downloaded.
You don't open a .dll. You need to copy it to the appropriate directory after you save it.
From the download page:
"Copy it to your X \Program Files\Mediamatics\DVDExpress\DVD Folder, as well as your Windows, and Windows/system folders (just to be sure)."
