"Helps a little bit, but still doesn't let me read any dvd's I've burnt.

This file is basically an self-extracting zip file. The dialog box with all the question marks is where you tell it where to extract to. Just type in or use the ???? button on the middle right to select where you want them to go, and press enter. Then just read the readme.txt."

"Appears that the driver is corrupted. Attempted to replace the existing driver to fix the problem but would not install. Off-line attempted to open the file without success. When you click on the driver file, a panel with "?? EXE" appears.

Please confirm above and suggest alternative driver or URL site.

"I am a novice / average PC user. File download was easy, however, after down-load, when trying to run or extract the file, an odd window opens with five "question marked" fields. One field refers to Xferd5.exe, none of the fields seem to open or prompt further action. No operator or installer notes were received with the download."
