Hi Mike, From closing the DVD drawer to seeing the initial screen from the DVD itself took 30 seconds exactly. And I was running Outlook 2003 and Solitaire at the same time. FWIW, my 64 bit Windows 7 Professional system has 3GB RAM, and a 2.4 Ghz Intel Quad Processor. It's Windows Experience Index rating is 5.8. George. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Moore Sent: 01 August 2010 23:02 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Windows 7 and DVD RW Hello, If someone has Windows 7 64bit, can they please try inserting a DVD movie and let me know what the seek time is before autoplay comes on. Mine is running about 5 minutes or so before Autoplay appears. Many thanks, Mike
