Find CyberLink PowerDVD

EDIT: oh and how about the one that comes with the DVD?? Every DVD I've ever tried installs a program for you if you don't have one.

My boss's dell computer came with a dvd software cd called Mediamatics Express DVD. It's the only dvd software that I could use on my weak p2 450mhz 128pc100 ram computer. It came with I guess the IBM dvd drive the dell had. I can give you the "trial copy" if you can't find anything that works.
