Question Posted Thursday June 28 2007, 10:09 pm

I was cleaning up my computer, and I acidentally deleted dvd decoder or something, and now I have to get a new one. Do I have to pay? Because that would be prepostorous if I did. And where can I get one?

There's no way you removed the entire program while you were cleaning it. It's likely you just deleted the icon on the desktop. Go to start>all programs and find it there. If you can't, open "my computer" and go to C:program files and find a folder with the name of your program. In it will be a file that's something like "dvd-decoder.exe"(the name of your program.exe), open this and the program will run.

If you still can't find it:

If it was a media player or codec, I recommend you download the k-lite STANDARD codec pack, which includes Media Player Classic, my favorite media player:

VLC is fine too, and might be easier for you.

If it was a dvd ripper, use HandBrake:

If it converted video files, use this:

Good luck!

check on your recycle bin and look for it
then right click then click restore
then hopefully it will still be there unless you emptied the trash
but good luck
