PowerDVD

I've had my new XPS Gen4 for one week now, and it came with Powerdvd dx 5.5 . I was trying to make some screen captures from a dvd today, and it will not let me do it. I asked on a livejournal I visit, and there are other people with Powerdvd 5.5, and theirs lets them do screen captures. Mine doesn't have a camera button, and few settings that I can change. How does everyone one elses PowerDVD work?

Also, was PowerDVD supposed to have it's own cd incase I needed to reload it? Or is it on one of the driver and utilities cds?

    There are probably a full "retail" version and the OEM version of Power DVD.  I have also found there are many "cracks" available for this software.  Dell forum rules prohibit discussing illegal copying so not much more I can say.   Check with those that have the function and see if they have a full "legal" version or some hacked version.
