reinstalling uninstalled dvd decoder

[svm]

i had problems with one of the media players that my computer came installed
with so i uninstalled it. turns out that the program contained my computer's
dvd decoder. when i search my computer, the only file i find pertaining to
the program is a ".pf" (or prefetch file). how can i open that? or is there
any other way to reinstall the program?

You'll need to look at the CDs that came with your PC and find out where the
'applications' CD is. Get hold of that PC manual (you probably put it away
in a drawer after you connected the PC) and there should be a section in
there on how to reinstall individual applications such as WinDVD or
PowerDVD, whichever came with your PC.
