Hi, Deon;
You did say that at first about right alt. I'd never heard it said that way
before. Do you mean the alt on the right side of the space bar? I think some
lap tops only have one alt key, instead of two like standard keyboards. Of
course, I've got a standard keyboard on both my computers so that doesn't
matter.
Thanks for your email addresses. Will you mind if I post them to the
Explorations list, in case anyone on that list wants to write you? Thanks
again. I'll try your suggestion over the weekend. Take care.
Lillian

Hi Lilian.
I meant to use right alt, then open sub folders with right arrow.
My email addresses are:
dplion@xxxxxxxxxxx
dplion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:dplion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Either one works for me.
Take it easy kiddo, and good luck with the cd.

Hi, Deon;
Do you mean right arrow and alt? Just wondering. I don't think it said a
program but I'll try it hopefully over the weekend. Thanks. Oh, what's your
current email address? You can send it to me off list. Do you remember mine? If
not, reply to this message and say yes or no and I'll call you and leave it on
your answering machine if you're unavailable to talk a few minutes. Take care.

Lilian. Highlight the cd rom drive and right alt, then open subfolder named ,
“open with”, and try whatever program is listed.

Lillian,
I'm not familiar with the extensions you mentioned but I also don't do much in
the way of watching videos on my computer. If you don't figure it out you might
be better to contact the Microsoft disability answer desk. It's possible that
you might require an additional program to play these particular files but
that's just a guess. The reference you're encountering to the store refers to
the store for Windows 10 users to purchase apps, books, TV shows, etc.
Essentially, Windows 10 has its own store, similar to the app store for iOS
users.

Hi, David;
After I insert my music dvd in the c-d rom tray and close it, I
go to my
computer and arrow down to dvdrw then hit enter to open that
drive. Next it
tells me there are three files on it. 1 is audio and it says
"empty folder"
2 says video. 3 says something about burning files onto the
disc, which I
don't want to do. So, the only obvious choice is the 2nd one.
When I hit
enter on it, it named a list of things with weird letters and
words with a
dot or period in their middle. They begin with "video ts. My
screen reader
says "files on this disc" then , "video ts.bup, video ts.ivo
and video
ts.vop. Each one of those extension things announces how big
the file is in
kilobytes. The first is 14kb. The second is the same exact
amount. The
third is much larger, having 114kb. When I try to select one,
it asks me how
I want to open the file. One is "look for an ap from ap store"
which I think
refers to playing on an I-phone. Next, it says "link for more
options. I
entered there and got a list of suggestions. One is Windows
media player. I
tried that. It goes to my library, or starts playing Victor
stream audios
from my documents, which are mp3 files. I tried the Adobe but
that talks
about documents and asks me to choose color contrasts. Then it
told me it
can't play the disc because it thinks it was sent to me in an
email, which
isn't true. It also lists IE and Itunes. Don't I have to open
those first
before hitting enter on either selection from the list? When I
first
inserted the music video disc today, my screen reader said
something about
automatic playing but didn't give that as an option to choose.
Very weird,
this business. If I choose I-tunes, might it ask me if I want
to buy it? I
already bought it from the company making and selling them. I'm
not sure
what IE will do. Should I try one or both and see what happens?
Thanks for
your help. Take care.
