naive question, is there a way other than a complete reinstall to just reinstall the DVD Player.
On one volume it works fine. On the other I get an error message: "...can't find the software it needs, reinstall blah blah error 201"
I've checked and enabled all the relevant DVD extensions, to no avail.
If I compared with the volume on which it works: I see two differences, several DVD related extensions are in French, there are lots of ATI extensions which are not present in the other volume whether in French, English or Martian :)
Both are MacOS9.2.1
additional info:
The OS9 volume on which the Player functions wasn't set by me, it came as it is with the G3 I purchased
The OS9 partition/volume on which it doesn't work is the contents of a UTM Disk I transferred. Except for that DVD issue, it runs smoothly: Apple Audio Player, Soundjam, internet related apps, others (so far) = OK
It's not a tragic issue, when/if I want to play a DVD I'll just boot from the proper volume, it's just that I don't like it when things don't work when they should !!! :P

...or if someone has enough knowledge/experience and time !!! Maybe I could get a list of the required files for the DVD Player to function with a G3 Pismo? I could transfer them manually from one system folder to the other... I guess one or more ATI extensions are necessary.

Fixed. Added the relevant ATI extensions from the Install&Drag .iso made by MacOS9Lives. Thank you people, a truly helpful download.
