[livejournal.com profile] raithen, who has suffered through many Sony computer problems in her day, pointed me to the Sony tech support site (which must have the sorriest metatags in the world).

So I now know how to reinstall DVD Express. Better, I even have the recovery CDs! (mental nod of apology to person who configured this computer). However:

  1. The CD believes I am not running it on a Sony system.

  2. Apparently, my Virtual Device Driver is invalid.
I have to get to work, so this will have to wait... I do feel rather flung back to the foot of the mountain here, however.

Oh, [livejournal.com profile] crankygrrl: RealPlayer and QuickTime installed. Ta da. My scorn for RealPlayer continues unabated (I think it's all the bloody ads, and the fact that you have to hunt so hard on every page for the free download link), but I have it.

Damn

Thanks!

I actually think I'm on the right track, but it looks like I might have to edit the registry (*cringe*). I have to sit down sometime when I'm NOT in a tearing hurry and note all the error messages I get, so I can do something useful with them.

It's not essential that this work any time soon. Playing with it will be more of a hobby for me, I think...
