If your laptop has a DVD drive, then Fujitsu definitely would have included a DVD playback software. It should be on your PC somewhere or included in one of the CDs that came with the laptop. Give Fujitsu tech support a call?

If you you want to get a DVD playing software RIGHT NOW, you could always buy/download either WinDVD or PowerDVD from places like Amazon for about $30. They are about the same. There are also freeware solutions too, like http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.

To rip DVDs to your HD, use SmartRipper (free). Be prepared to have about 5 gigs of free space per DVD.

Lastly, you could always 'steal' by downloading stuff off Kazaa or something like that. I don't recommend it though: 1) time consuming, 2) bad quality files, and 3) stealing = bad karma.
