    you know how you put a Cd or Dvd in you computer a little popup comes up and asks you if you want to open folder to view files or play in windows media player or take no action.Welll i dont get that but when i open up windows media centre i am able to play it,same goes for cd's except this time i choose to play it with windows media player,and it works fine however i still dont get the options list.
    Another thing is you know when you click on my computer it you see the drive which plays dvds and cds.The icon doesnt change its like nothing happned.





    my computer specs

    Dell dimension E521
    Amd 64 athlon x2
    Windows Vista Premium.


    Also this used to work fine before i intalled and messed about with this easy dvd shrink should i remove it..???

    To get the PROMPT back for when you put media in your drive do the following:

    My Computer
    Select your CD Drive - Right Click - Properties - Autoplay - there you can reselect ** Prompt me at each time to chose an action.

    so then it will prompt you when you insert your next cd or dvd.
