438990 2006-03-18 07:43:00 Man they really don't want you watching any dvds on a computer! I have been having a bit of trouble lately doing this but this is getting extreme!

When I stick this DVD in the drive it just freezes everything. Windows can't even load when this disk is in the drive. Windows explorer freezes and the drive doesn't even appear to spin the disk up to full speed like normal. I have disabled the autoplay feature on the drive but it doesn't seem to help.

Does anyone know of copy protection mechanisms that act like this? I'm pretty sure the drive is ok (or was until I put this disc in).

438991 2006-03-18 07:47:00 Well I am not completely sure I have disabled the autorun feature fully. I remember long ago changing the mulittude of reg settings to achieve that but since then those settings may have been lost. So if anyone knows how to change these simply off the top of their head let me know and I will check them. pico (4752)
