    DVD Autoplay issue

    I'm having an issue that just started. When I plop a DVD into the DVD drive in my comp., instead of a player coming up, it opens up like this:




    I've tried to reset the autoplay which works for a while but then it goes back. What could be causing this, and is there a fix?

          What was the application you originally had playing your DVDs?
          Also try this:

          Windows ME/NT/2000/XP

          Ensure CD-ROM drive autoplay enabled
          1. In Windows, click Start->Run
          2. Type in: regedit
          3. Click OK.
          4. Double-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
          5. Double-click SYSTEM
          6. Double-click CurrentControlSet
          7. Double-click Services
          8. Click once on Cdrom
          9. On the right-side pane, look at the item "Autorun". You will know if your computer's autorun was indeed turned off by seeing if the value is a zero (meaning it is turned off). If the value is zero, double-click the item "Autorun" and type 1 for its value to turn autoplay on.

          Here are some other links to look at:
