AlizarinStag, I'm so sorry that this year and last has not been good for you. (**comfort**) You're such a cheerful presence on this forum that I find it hard to believe. I really hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and that 2011 brings you all good things. You have your trip to the UK to look forward to; that should in itself be the thing that makes the coming year a good one for you.

i checked again last night just to make sure ,and POWER DVD player definatly plays UK/USA dvds ,,if you manage to download it everything should be fine ,however if you still have problems its a possibility you may have some kind of pirate copy ,but didnt rachel send you that dvd as a gift ? if so it wont be a pirate ,and its just down to the software your playing it on ,as for finding steves music ,i would have thought someone somewhere in the USA is selling british imports ,,maybe you need to do a full scale search

Thank you sweety! I've been through worse than the last two years, so I'm a seasoned veteran survivor. But yeah, there were some doozies.

I want nothing more than to be a positive force, so your comment makes me smile. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year too, dear lady!

So, I downloaded a free trial version of POWER DVD, Crazy Horse, but it's not working. Every time I try to open it or run it, it starts trying to install itself again. And it never quite finishes the install because there is a patch that won't install on my computer. I tried playing my "Live in London" so-called DVD (I still think it's a CD or some kind of pirated version) and it automatically started playing the music on my Windows Media Player (no video, of course). And, yes, Rachel sent me a DVD as a gift, but I haven't received it yet. That will be the true test if I can play UK DVDs because I know her DVD will not be a pirated one.

On a good note, I received two CDs from Amazon.com today: Human Menagerie and Psychomodo. They work fine, but of course there's no video accompaniment.

Okay, I just figured out a way to get POWER DVD to work, but it's only playing music, no video. And I don't see any way to change the Region of the DVD. Thanks, Crazy Horse, for all of your help. Unless I can get Rachel's DVD to work right, I may just have to resign myself to reverting to YouTube to see the videos to these songs.

Cheri, There's no alternative other than to get yourself over here for some gigs. I'm sure the network of fans will help to look after you and Ana. Why don't you join Steve's friends on Facebook.......unless you already have.

Believe me, there is nothing like seeing him in the flesh!!
