Hi, I am not good with computers. I want to figure out which decoder to download. i have an older gateway computer with windows 98 and i want to know which decoder will work. i do not understand the things that are written to describe each different decoder. i tried one i thought would work and it is a nightmare. i do not need any home videos or converting or anything i just want to be able to watch simpsons dvds and dvds i rent at a store. nothing else. also i dont have that computer online so i need to use this computer and store in on the jump start usb and transfer it. i am getting really fustrated and gateway is no help. so i am hoping someone has an idea??

Topic has been covered before. Try doing a search for "DVD decoder" or read the pinned "CODECS" topic.
P.S. Since you are not computer literate, I would stay from installing codec packs.
They can often be problematic for new users.

Install any software DVD player. The two most popular are PowerDVD and WINDVD. If you are too cheap to purchase one, give VLC (VideoLan Client) a try or just use one of the MPEG2 decoders included with K-lite codec pack.
