"We thought we now had a fully functional system. That
wasn't too bad for an upgrade. A small, minor, bump in the road but
no real white knuckle, stomach ulcer, hair pulling, keyboard
banging moments like we are used to with such upgrades. A success!!
.... or so we thought ....
"The real bugger came when we went to play a DVD. We of course
had our restricted extras installed from 7.10 and all that
encompasses, yet we could no longer play DVDs. Checking that all
the necessary components were there showed that, in fact, they were
all still present and functional. But why couldn't we play DVDs
then?"
