Usually you're prompted when you insert the DVD. If not, then use Windows
Explorer to find the volume that's your DVD, and then press the Applications
key to bring up the context menu. Then find the auto start, and change the
default.

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.

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.
