Do you mean a DVD ROM? I have no idea :) Do you have an old DVD ROM?

Last time I checked InterVideo doesn't make pc hardware ... but they do make software :)

Which WinDVD will play movies.

Your not giving much helpful info.

Correct me if I'm wrong ...

1) You trying to play backup games
2) It will play on a RW drive, but not on a DVD ROM, right?

3) What DVD ROM do you have? Brand?

I just backed up my daughters Barbie Swan Lake. Uses SecureROM 4.84 ... the backup will not play on my LiteOn 163(DVD ROM), but will play on my NEC 2510(DVD +/-RW), my Plextor Premium (CDRW), and my Sony 1612(DVD ROM).

best way to find out:

Hopefully your running XP :)
Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> DVD/CD-ROM Drives ... it should say.

Generic ... isn't good :) You could try getting a new dvd rom. You can pick up a good liteon 166 for around $30. I use a Sony 1612 which I got for around 30 bucks.
