Tx, Otter. I do not know. This is the 1st one I have ever tried. (It
played fine in my stand-alone tv-dvd-player.). Have both a dvd-rom and a
dvd-burner. Maybe I just don't now how to start it. I'm installing it,
closing the disc-drawer, and when the option window appears, I click on
"Play in Windows Media Player"? The only other 2 options are
non-applicable, something like "open folder to view the files" and "Take no
action". s
