How to remove Windows DVD Player

[Guest kleefarr]

I think this may have come in via an update because I didn't install it.

Every time I put a DVD in DVD Player starts up automatically.

 

How do I uninstall it or stop it from starting automatically please? I can't

find anything in the control menu.

Windows 2000 doesn't differentiate a CD-Rom from a DVD player. If you have

the ability or want to play DVDs you have or must get a third party product

to do so.

Right. That's what I was wondering.

More investigation required. If it's not windows then it must be WinAmp. I

have no other software progam on there except Nero and the Media player has

been uninstalled for that.

 

Thanks.
