It can only be part of the Sony OEM software suite.<BR /><BR />The only way to reinstall WinDVD is to reinstall the entire operating system using the Recovery Centre (was Vaio Recovery Utility).<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.fr/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 May 2009 21:10:21 GMT https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-intervideo-windvd-for-vaio/m-p/5812#M16697 Blencogo 2009-05-12T21:10:21Z Re: Problems with Intervideo WinDVD for VAIO https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-intervideo-windvd-for-vaio/m-p/5814#M16698 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks For the quick response.<BR /><BR />I must say I am not surprised, Intervideo have always been paranoid about their licensing.<BR /><BR />Oh well, I'm not going to do a full system restore just to get what is at best an OK piece of software back.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 13 May 2009 07:08:23 GMT https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-intervideo-windvd-for-vaio/m-p/5814#M16698 jedd 2009-05-13T07:08:23Z
