I'm in need of an older version of PowerDVD, one that works on a laptop with Windows XP.

The laptop did not have any DVD Drivers, so it could not play and DVDs.

After installing Power DVD 6, I was able to use Windows Media Player but there was no sound. Considering the sound is working for other programs including VLC media player, can someone explain this? I think this is a result of the trail version but I just want to make sure.

If I'm correct can somone tell me where I can legally get the full version of an older PowerDVD editon? If thats not possible, can you tell me what other programs can help me?

No, I don't think you can buy versions that would work on XP...because you'd have to go back to version 13 or 14. Older versions are removed from websites when I checked.

Sounds like you're saying it came with your laptop? You should check the discs that came with the laptop, as there should be a copy in there. If not, contact the laptop manufacturer and ask for a new copy.

That is probably your only avenue, as the other would be CL support, but you said that didn't work.
