What jman98 & Ai Haibara failed to REALIZE, is that old forum threads can still be helpful to NEW people who stumble upon them. I just didnt want to reinstall VLC because of the megapack of codes i just installed, afraid of overwriting something again. VLC seems to have the codecs for all the older DVD drives and I have never had a problem with it, so if you dont have a working DVD software player try installing it and if it doesn't come up as the default DVD player then do this fix. The point is to use a working player command in the string, and it now works when I insert the DVD in the drive or double click on the DVD drive in My Computer. So, I temporarily renamed dvdplay.exe to dvdplay.ex so Windows could not find it again and I went looking for "dvdplay" in the registry, found it, noticed my VLC install command was also there in a subkey, and copied that command into this one. I had this problem after installing a GNU code pack and it then always tried to run dvdplay.exe in my system32 directory, which promptly blue screened my W2K. Can anyone tell me how can i tell windows 2000 to lunch a specific dvd player when a dvd is being put in the dvd player.
