Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie
To install WinDVD, go to the ″Software″ section of the Software and User’s Guide
CD.
After you install the DVD drive and WinDVD, you can view a DVD movie. But
first you need to set the DVD region code for your DVD content.
DVD region codes
DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into

WinDVD is also region–specific.
