Hello Scott,

No, I didnt get to that stage, or to be honest, didnt even consider it.
I was helping him with other problems when the dvd issue came up.

Are we talking about Software that came with the dvd player? or any
Software that can associate with his dvd player.? I say this, because I
dont think he has any Software, but at the same time, I noticed a
short-cut on his desktop that related to a dvd player. Unfortunately,
it was as I was due to leave his house that the whole issue came up, and
I only had about 10 minutes to look around before I had to leave.

Thanks for reply Scott, have jotted it down for 'things to try'.

It is normal for it to be listed as "None". Select it in the list, then
click the "Advanced" button near the bottom.
Tell us what appears in the "Actions" box there....name all the listed
actions.

Is "Play" one of the listed actions, and is it in Bold letters, meaning
it is the Default Action?

If "Play"is listed, select it and click the "Edit" button, and tell us
what is listed there.
