Have you checked with the DVD drive manufacturer to see if there is a newer 
driver available? Seems strange that it works for CD and blank media, but 
not DVD.

If Auto Play didn't work at all for any type of media, I would wonder if the 
drive needs to be configures as bootable in the BIOS.

Hi everyone,
Ok, I took some of your suggestions and put them into play with still no
success.  I have the latest KLyte codec pack installed and I have Cyber link
Power DVD8 installed, but I still can not get the auto play menu to come up
for DVDs, re writable DVDs, or program discs.  There is also no way to get
into the drive when the disc is in to play it or install from as I have
tried getting in that way.  I've been in the auto folder in the control
panel many times and all settings are as I want "ask me what to do," when
various media is inserted.  Even though the drive has no problem with CDs
and recognizing blank DVDs, do you guys think something could be wrong with
the drive or do you have any new ideas?  Thanks.
