MF4 Disc Creator-PLAYER

Ladislaus · Post by **Ladislaus** » Thu May 17, 2007 12:49 am

Normally when a dvd-r disc is inserted into the disc driver of the computer, the Ulead player page will appear to play the video .
For some reason this does not happen any now, except the Microsoft media player page appears instead, which I down loaded recently-I think

Please advise if I have to delete MS Media player or if anything else could be done to regain the ulead player page.
Any suggestion is much appreciated.
Thank you

In windows explorer "Right Click" on your dvd player and select "Properties".
There will be an "Auto Play" TAB. Click on it, select DVD-Movie, select a program, choose the ulead dvd player.

Thank you etech6355
I could not find 'dvd player' in windows explorer.
However I managed to find via another route.
Under 'dvd player' properties, there is no 'auto play' tab.
There are however small boxes under 'attributes' which ,are-
Read only
Hidden
Archive
Enable thumb nail view
System (greyed out)
All the boxes are un-ticked.
Could you please advise?

. Thanks

Ladislaus,
Open up "My Computer". You will see a listing of your harddisks and your optical drives ( the dvd reader/player/writer ). Your optical drives are the devices you put your dvd into to play the dvd. It will have a drive letter assigned to it. Right Click on the drive letter & select "Properties", you should then see the "Auto Play" TAB.
On you computer "Dvd Player, dvd reader or writer" same thing.

Thank you for coming back.
The latter route at the end, did noit have 'auto'tab
In order not to bother you again, I tried several save methods(as a computer illiterate) and it finally worked, taking the following route:

Start>settings.control panel. 2click'disc detector'-a page appears
Leave 'enable disc' box blank
Select the DVD (in my case the LG burner)
click 'apply' (at the bottom)- close page
Open Ulead programme
Insert disc
Player automatically opens.Presto!

It may be my computer is made differently
Thanks all the same.

No, my fault, I didn't look at your system specs. Your using windows 98 and I was giving you instructions for windows XP, sorry.

Not to worry
