        One thing more....my boss want to play a dvd disc on his cd-rom drive with
a windows OS ( sorry for this...but I need it very badly) and unfortunately
I can't find the right one...is this possible?? is there any software
available...thanks for your advance help...pls include site for me to
download the player.

i dont think that is possible. as far as i understand, the lasers being used 
in CDROM drives is not compatible with the ones used for DVD drives but the 
reverse is doable (CD media on DVD drive). the CDROM drive are just not 
built to read DVD drives. 

ciao!
