DVD player requiring no admin privileges

[mlleangelique]

Oo - I think I've managed to get it; I thought installing as small a DVD player as possible would make it less likely that it included things that needed admin powers, and a 2Mb one seems to have installed itself and be working despite a few error messages...

so you can watch DVD's on that laptop now?

it'd be funny if your employer was reading your posts on this forum

so what did you install?

Yep, I seem to be able to - it gave me lots of error messages, but I've tried one DVD, and that seemed to play at least...

Oddly, I don't think my boss, or even anyone at w*rk, would actually care, particularly given that it's for train journeys when I wouldn't be doing anything anyway.

It's called Cliprex DS. It's bundled with lots of nasty spyware, but if it isn't stopped by the locked-down version of Windows, and I can't install/use Adaware, I think that's one thing I *could* get the tech people to do...
