I know there's a way to disable the constant permission pop ups on Windows VISTA. Does anyone know where to go in the system to do that?

Hey Deb!

Thanks,

On the Vista topic.  Does anyone know an Email marketing program that works with Vista

I wish I could help you Bri. Sorry.

My husband went to play an instructional DVD on our computer. It's a relatively new one so I've not plugged in any DVD's yet. Nothing happened. Is there something special you  have to do or someplace you have to go to play a DVD in VISTA?

I would be interested in this reply because the same thing happend to me, I actually posted an ad on Craigslist about offering someone who knew how to fix the DVD drive in exchange for House cleaning. My god the responses lol our customers should reply like that, anyway. Had a man come out spent 4 hours to only tell me that the Mother board is not reading the DVD drive. UMMM hello this computer is only 4 Months old. and of Coarse I purchased it off of someone who had it for 2 months and sold it because they needed money. so Who knows. Guess I will have to buy a new one.

Let me clarify: I was trying to play a CD not a DVD as I previously stated. I went to a website called justanswer.com. This is the script from that conversation. Perhaps it will help you out. If not, try that website; I've been there twice now and have positive results both times. 

Me: I have a Dell Inspiron 530S and Vista Home Premium. Is there a trick to playing a CD? With my old system, I would just put in the CD and it would automatically start playing.

Help: If you click start then Default Programs,

Click on Autoplay settings and Browse to the media you want to change, and choose the default program from the associated drop-down menu on the right.

Once you have done this it will automatically play the disk when you put it in.

Me:  Clicked on default programs
clicked on autoplay settings
chose windows media player for default program
for audio CD and Enhanced audio CD
Put in the CD
Nothing happened

Help: A CDDA is a standard audio disk so it should autostart if you selected it in your settings and then rebooted.

The only other thing I can think of is if you have not performed your Microsoft updates, As Microsoft issued a Vista patch to address an issue like this.

Just click start then programs and hit updates.

Me:  I forgot to reboot. Duh! It works. Thank you!!
