Hi there,
I have been reading through some of the help files and various other tutorials on my new operating system (Win2k3 Ent. Server) and have found that supposedly the 64bit versions of Win2k3 do not support DVD video playback. I was wondering if anyone has confirmed this through experience and if they have found a way of enabling this capability, as I found out how to enable certain other features disabled by default in Win2k3? Thanks for the help once again.

The 64-bit version will only install on Intel Itanium and AMD's new 64-bit processor, which are currently only in the server market.
 
Most servers would not need DVD playback software, those that do would need to purchase a 3rd party package.
