What are the opinions here on purchasing the Cyberlink PowerDVD 6
Essential Suite software to replace the PowerDVD 7 that got wiped off a
new computer after using a restore disk, versus the other choices
available? Meaning the various Roxio, Sony, Pinnacle, etc. softwares for
DVD & CD viewing & burning? This is from a newbie(me) that had no
problem adding 2GB RAM to a new Vista computer, but obviously didn't
back up ALL the files I should have when I used the OS restore disk to
wipe the hard drive clean after getting a virus. Any opinions would be
appreciated. Thanks!
