How do I do that? Set it as my default?

  Samara,

  As I said, if you insert a DVD it plays just fine, as long as you have your 
auto start set to launch WMP for a Video disk.

  But again I have to grope around if I'm trying to launch a video that's 
sitting on my hard drive.

  Not impossible, but difficult, as you've experienced.

  Dave

    Darn. Well...um... do you have any recommendations? Currently I don't have 
a dvd player or anything so my computer's all I've got.

      Samara,

      Never had much luck playing videos with WMP. Insert a DVD and it's fine, 
but try to play a video file on the drive and very hard to start it up.

        Does anyone use windows media player to play DVDS? And if so, how do 
you go about it? I can get my DVD to play, but not the movie. It'll start 
playing that intro stuff and then I tab over to the list pane and press enter 
on something and either nothing'll happen or it'll stop and not play anything 
else. Sometimes jaws says...oh...for example:

        Say there's a list pane and there are three chapters. Chapter 1, 2 and 
3. If I want to play chapter two, I'll go to it, press enter and nothing'll 
happen. I press space and it says it's unselected and the whole thing goes 
quiet. I hit space again and it selects, but doesn't play.

        Is this just a hopeless cause? Does anyone know of an accessible 
program I can use to watch dvds?

        Thanks so much.
