My compadre has a Compaq Presario 900 with DVD and WinDVD is all mucked up--it keeps giving a "create overlay failed" error. I googled and tried a bunch of things to fix it, to no avail. I could get DVD's to play using PowerDVD, but it's just a trial and costs $50.
I suggested installing Mandrake for playing DVD's, but I'm having second thoughts because my experience with Compaq several years ago was a nightmare of non-standard, Compaq only crap. After googling some more on the Presario 900 and linux, I see that it is possible but might require some work. Most of those docs were for older releases--RH8, MDK 8.2-9.0. I'm just wondering if it might be easier now with a newer release, and if anybody here has gotten MDK running on one of these "machines".
