I have Vista Home Premium which is supposed to play DVD Videos. How is this
done? Someone gave me several movies on DVD but nothing happens when I insert them in the DVD/CD recorder/burner tray. I don't even know where to look for the information I need.  |

Maybe you have not selected any default program to automatically play your
DVD movies when you insert them in the tray. When you have inserted the DVD, open Windows Media Player, Real Player, VLC or whatever player you have installed on you system. From the player, locate the drive in which you have your DVD-player and try to execute it from there. Good luck!

We did get to watch the DVDs. Couldn't find anywhere in WMP to set it to come up/open when a DVD is inserted into the drive. > > Good luck! > > PM > > "news.microsoft.com" <> skrev i meddelandet > news:e$... >>I have Vista Home Premium which is supposed to play DVD Videos.

File association menus were pulled out of the player - that functionality is incorporated into the system Default Programs control panel and the AutoPlay control panel. =) -- Speaking for myself only.
