    I am pretty sure the answer is NO!! But I'll ask anyway :)
    I have an old Toshiba laptop running Windows 98 and it is fitted with a CD Rom drive.
    Is there any smart (free!) software that would enable it to play a DVD?
    Don't laugh!!

    Nope, DVD requires a totally seperate laser, not possible to find a software solution ;)

    Better still build your own computer and put Linux Mint on it.
