Ive done this is came up with the message 'DVD/CD drives drives not assigned' which i have assigned, and yes its playing DVD using the SM player.

although using autoplay (sorry i forgot the name) its still not playing

Does this help?

mr_accountant

what i did was remove the recent programs i downloaded, one by one eg vlc, real player, dvd x player- it think it was the DVD x player , i have uninstalled and reinstalled it an it appears to be working OK.
