You buy a Soundblaster card, you can download the latest drivers (and even players) from www.creative.com.

You buy a GeForce 3 video card, and you can download latest drivers.

You buy a DVD-ROM, you're screwed.

Nice going, Pioneer.

You do not need any drivers to read a DVD-ROM disk with a DVD-ROM drive other than what normally comes with any OS.

You do, however, need an application to watch a DVD movie with a DVD-ROM drive.

In any case, Pioneer were more than willing to direct me to the same vendor who provides the software that comes in the Retail drive box. I'd just have to purchase it.

                     But once they have it, why not let them be able to *use* it? - (CRConrad) - (3) - Sept. 21, 2001, 03:12:41 AM EDT
