It'd be interesting to hear what kind > of experiences people with L100s and L110s have had. Matt: Yes, the list silence is deafening. I guess this means we're the geekiest? I really don't know if the L100 has the power to play VCDs, just thought I'd give it a whirl. The Sony PRD-650's manual says it will play VCDs, and it has a SCSI interface (Adaptec APA-1460A PCMCIA card). And as I said, all was mostly well for awhile. My thought was that since VCDs are older technology and lower resolution than DVDs, maybe it would work on a P166 w/64MB running W98se. But maybe not. I think Phil was suggesting that the Margi MPEG card is the answer. They're cheap on ebay, so unless someone can persuade me otherwise, I think I'll get one and try it. My Windows Media Player is V 6.4.07.1112, and I was playing in full-screen. The problem recurred after switching to !1/4-screen though. Thoughts, anyone?
