deleted my decoder

I believe I accidentally deleted my dvd decoder that came with my hp system.
It didn't come with a disk, everything I needed was in the hard drive. Do I
have to repurchase this software. I have recover disks but I don't want to
recover the whole system as that would put me back to service pack 1. I
think the decoder that came with the system was NVIDIA. Please advise.

Thanks oval-red

Check your PC manual. There should be a way to reinstall individual
applications. It may be the nVidia decoder but it may also be PowerDVD or
WinDVD.

Thanks for the message...... I took your advice and checked with the pc
manual. I tried re-installing WinDvd, but that didn't fix the problem. I'm
also online with HP and they don't have a clue about the HP system. NVidia
sounds familiar. I can do a re-install if I knew what to re-install.

nVidia make chipsets for graphics cards so you generally hear of nVidia in
reference to graphics drivers. They can be downloaded from www.nvidia.com.
However recently they also have produced a DVD decoder (found at the same
place).

After 2 hours of working with HP online I got a restore of InterViedeo WinDVD
which corrected my problem. Thanks for your help. I hope this may help
someone else who encounters this problem in the future. This issue is now
closed.
