What is InterActual Player?? My DVD's are not playing on my Dell.

It's a free player pre-installed on some DVD movies. Rather than autoplay the movie, these discs autoplay the interactual installation. Just cancel it and watch the movie. If it has installed itself, uninstall it. If it's messed up your autoplay settings, go to drive properties, the autoplay tab, select DVD movies under disc type and set it back to your preferred DVD program.

Osprey,

 

Thanks for your help. I am still getting error messages from Interactual, but I try working this problem out. I hope the patch works. The original problem was that Roxio (and Nero Burning) stopped recognizing the presence of blank CD's in my Sony drive (which came w/ my 6mo. old Dell). I have not been able to burn anything, except recorded TV shows from Media Center to DVD. From reading some of the Forums, it seems that the Sony drive has some problems. It may be time to call the techs at Dell.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

 

Sincerely,

Hey Osprey,

 

I did some checking and the sound problem was cured by adjusting the audio settings from inside cineplayer (not interactual). Cineplayer was popping up to play the DVD, instead of interactual this time...I adjusted the speaker settings to 5.1 surround sound and VLF (very low frequency response), restarted the computer and...SOUND with the DVD.

Thank you for leading me in the right direction.
