I was unable to make either Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, or my
old PowerDVD XP 4 to work with sound.

I did however do the following to restore DVD watching ability...

Downloaded Video Lan Player:
http://www.videolan.org/

Downloaded new Realtek AC97 Vista Drivers:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True

After installing both, I am able to watch DVDs only in the VLC player with
sound. Microsoft players can not play sound as of yet even after the new
driver...

What was your solution for the DVDROM fix? I lost my drive and it Device
Manager keeps saying "Corrupt or missing driver". I've installed RC1 on a
MacBook Pro and it worked fine, till I booted today. I can see that it uses
'cdrom.sys' for loading the Matsushita DVD.

Any solutions would be appreciated?
