I have nearly identical computers - both running Windows XP Pro - SP2 - all
the latest patches. Both running on P4 2.8 GHz PCs. Both with the same DVD
drive with the same firmware. When I put the DVD in one computer(ComputerA)
it pops up with the what would you like me to do - play, explore, windvd
etc.When I put the same DVD in the other computer(ComputerB) it just sits
there.

I went to the autoplay properties (On ComputerB) of the drive and selected
DVD and set to restore defaults and apply- nothing happens after I reinsert
the DVD. I set it to WinDVD - nothing happens.

If I manually open WinDVD I can play the movie on both computers no problem.



I noticed when the DVD is in the first computer ComputerA (the one that
autoplays properly), if I select My Computer it lists the title of the movie
next to the drive letter.
If I put the same DVD in the second computer ComputerB it shows that it is 4
GIGs but nothing more. It does however show the DVD title on ComputerB if I
go into disk manager. If I click on the drive it shows me the contents of
the DVD AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS If I select the VIDEO_TS I can click on the
files and get the movie to play with WinDVD - but I want it to autoplay
without doing the extra steps.

Not sure what I need to change for it to recognize the DVD in the drive as a
movie so it autoplays.


Thanks
