DVD's not starting?

[rovingcowboy]

not sure what is going on but all my winXp pro computers wont autoplay any dvd's,

i set the handlers in the drives properties but still no dvd player i use will autoplay?

i found an autoplay repair program or tool so i tried that and still no luck.

every time i put the dvd in the drive of any of my computers i have to use

the icon to start the player then use the play button to play the dvd file and then use the option to set it to full screen,

not one of the computers will use any dvd program just by putting the dvd in the drive.

does any one know what is causing this?

Can you please post the report from the Autoplay Repair Tool?

okay i'll see if i can figure out how to get it make a report here on this dell.

as for the sony vaio i found a copy of windvd5 i did not know was there it was

stuck in a cubby hole with out a link to it. so i started it up and put a dvd in.

the dvd started and played. so it seems the sony vaio requires i use the windvd5

to play dvd's.

i found the avs dvd free player and i am going to test it on this dell to see if it will work like normal.

no the avs program did not change anything on this dell. However

i have noticed this time that there is no option called "Play DVD's" on the autorun list for the dvd drive. i have been telling it to run movie files.

what happened to the play dvd option?

i can't see any way of making a report from this " autoplay repair " program?
